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 I had you to 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

Let it go, oh...

Now, let me remind you
You were the first to call me a friend
And I was there through thick and thin

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
No there ain't no use in hanging on
