He's what I want
But I'm not what he needs
He needs to wake up and look in the mirror
And like just what he sees
And it kills me
That I have to leave
To watch him go get better
'Cause I'd set myself on fire
If it meant he'd come back after
Because I love him
I love him
That's why I'm letting him go
I love him and I want him
But we both need time to grow
And if the world was kind
I could make him stay
It pains me to think of a girl
Who gets to trace his veins
I love him
But it's better off this way
We had the best time
And he was all mine
And I never wanna leave
We'd stay up all night
And when he drifts off
I can't help but watch him sleep
Oh he's so beautiful
And I tell him all the time
I never said words more true
I'll stand by them untill I die, oh
I love him
I love him
That's why I'm letting him go
I love him and I want him
But we both need time to grow
And if the world was kind
I could make him stay
It pains me to think of a girl
Who gets to trace his veins
I love him
But it's better off this way
Oooh, mmhmm, mmhmm, hmmmm
I love him
I love him
So I have to let him go
I love him and I want him
I only hope he finds his growth
And if the world was kind
He would wanna stay
And if there's a next one
I hope she can love him the same
I don't know, doesn't feel better off this way
Ooh, I can only pray
Ooh
