I could tell you the truth

But you′d call me a liar (liar, li-liar)

Tried to wave a white flagBut you set it on fire (fire)

(And that's when you start asking yourself why)

You cry, they don′t

Every single night

That's how you know

You gotta let it go

Sometimes you just can't fix it

You love somebody, love somebody

But you gotta let ′em go

Before you go down with them

Can′t love somebody who loves burning bridges

Burning bridges

I used "Sorry" to keep you

And that was my error, hmm (error, my error)

'Cause I tore me apart

Tryna hold us together (′gether)

(And that's when you start asking yourself why)

You cry, they don′t

Every single night

That's how you know

You gotta let it go

Sometimes you just can′t fix it

You love somebody, love somebody

But you gotta let 'em go

Before you go down with them

Can't love somebody who loves burning bridges

You cry, they don′t

That′s how you know

You cry, they don't

That′s how you know

You gotta let it go, oh

Sometimes you just can't fix it

You love somebody, love somebody

But you gotta let ′em go

Before you go down with them

Can't love somebody who loves burning bridges

You cry, they don′t

That's how you know

You cry, they don't

That′s how you know
