Let Him Go

You're holding him so tight that he can't move
If you never give him room
you're gonna lose.
He's feeling like he's tied up in a knot
Ev'ry time he comes home late he's on the spot.
Trust him to be the kind of man he wants to be
You aren't gonna keep him long if you give him
the third degree.
Let him go
let him go
do the things he's got to do
Give him the freedom that he needs even though it worries you.
Let him go
let him go
have the faith that he'll be true
It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you.
You want your life with him to work so well
You forget the love you need to give yourself.
I understand your desire to keep him near
But you poison love when you mix it up with fear.
Trust yourself to be the woman that you want to be
If you both have room to grow
then you'll live in harmony.
Let him go
let him go
do the things he's got to do
. . .
Let him go
let him go.
Let him go
let him go
have the faith that he'll be true
It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you.
Let him go
let him go
let him go.
