  • Boy, I see you looking over
    You keep on looking back and watching me
    The way you come closer
    Closer to the one that's good for you
    Because you're still going back to that life
    And I refuse to stand on the side
    By sparing her from heartache
    Don't you know you end up hurting me

    I see your head spin right around
    She makes you fall and hit the ground
    When you ever going to let her go
    See the way that she breaks you so
    All I'm asking is for you please
    To take control and be set free
    Make some space so we can grow
    Say you left
    Before I let you go
    Oh whoa oh whoa

    So you say this will get better
    Better for you, her or me?
    Well I don't know what to tell ya
    It's not my fault that I don't believe
    'Cause you're still so stuck in that life
    And I refuse to stay on this ride
    'Cause I'm going round in circles
    Aren't you tired of never having peace

    I see your head spin right around
    As she makes you fall and meet the ground
    When you ever going to let her go
    See the way that she breaks you so
    All I'm asking is for you please
    Take control and be set free
    Make some space so we can grow
    Say you left
    Before I let you go

    I have been waiting
    For you to change this
    But it has taken too long
    So I can't keep waiting
    I've got to change this
    It's time for me to be so strong

    I see your head spin right around
    She make you fall and hit the ground
    When you ever going to let her go
    I see the way that she breaks you so
    All I'm asking is for you please
    To take controls and be set free
    Make some space so we can grow
    Say you left
    Before I let you go

    I see your head spin right around
    She make you fall and hit the ground
    When you ever going to let her go
    I see the way that she breaks you so
    All I'm asking is for you please
    To take controls and be set free
    Make some space so we can grow
    Say you left
    Before I let you go

    (Baby, baby I)
    Before I before I
    Before I before I
    Let you go (No, no)
    I don't wanna let you go Writer/s: COLBIE CAILLAT, RICK NOWLES

  • Peter from Little Falls, NjDump him. He's dropped her more times than a super ball. He really does'nt care about her. If he did he would'nt treat her like that.
