[Verse 1]
Ooh
I'd been consumed
I'm not for sale
Man, what the hell?
I been with you
And this ain't gon' last me forever

[Pre-Chorus]
All that I can be is me and all me
Time to get out, I don't want you around
All that I can see is you without me
No, I can't scold you, however


[Chorus]
I tried to play pretend (Oh)
Try not to see the end (Ah)
But I couldn't see you the way you saw me
Now I can feel the waste on me
I tried my best to be worth all your while
You just gotta let me Go as I'm tryna let Go of you

[Bridge]
Sho-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

[Verse 2]
Ooh
I'll be there soon
I'm kinda sad
What should I do? (What should I do?)
Guess I'll move on
Love won't harass me forever

[Pre-Chorus]
All that I could be is me and all me
Fuck all that nostalgia, been up on a downer
I can't make your eyes see, gon' be what it's gon' be
Don't come back around me, no, never


[Chorus]
You were so automatic
So you know I had to have it
But lovin' you was a hazard
So I got my heart a helmet
I tried my best to be worth all your while
You just gotta let me Go as I'm tryna let Go of you, ooh

[Outro]
Let me (Let me), allow me to let Go of you, ooh
Let me, let me (Let) go
Oh, no, oh (Oh), oh
Fuck yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
