How long have I been there for you to lean on
 
 I held you up when nobody else really cared
 
 I was so wrong to think that you could depend on
 
 Cause when I needed somebody you weren't there Let me remind you
 
 You were the first to call me a friend
 
 And I was there through thick and thin
 
  
  Now I know it's time to let it go
 
 Let it go, oh no, just let it go
 
 Cause there ain't no use in hanging on
 
 When we both know it's time to let it go
  
 
 How long have I lived my life in the shadows
 
 I gave it everything but you let me down
 
 You were so wrong when you told me your lovin' would be so strong
 
 Cause when I needed somebody you weren't around
  
 
 Let me remind you
 
 You were the first to call me a friend
 
 And I was there through thick and thin
  
 
 Now I know it's time to let it go
 
 Let it go, oh no, just let it go
 
 Cause there ain't no use in hanging on
 
 When we both know it's time to let it go
  
 
 Let it go
  
 
 Now, let me remind you
 
 You were the first to call me a friend
 
 And I was there through thick and thin
  
 
 Now I know it's time to let it go
 
 Let it go, oh no, just let it go
 
 Cause there ain't no use in hanging on
 
 When we both know it's time to let it go
  
 
 Let it go
 
 Oh no, just let it go
 
 Let it go
 
 Oh no, just let it go
 
 Cause there ain't no use in hanging on
 
 No there ain't no use in hanging on
 
 Bye bye baby
 
 Bye bye baby
 
 There ain't no use in hanging on
