I still remember that awkward phase
Before we were us, just caught in a daze
I blurted out randomly, out of the blue
"I can drive you to Utah," just to be close to you
I pictured your shocked face, but you finally said yes
The rest of our story, words just can't express
Except for Derka Dan, and the joke that he said
"And I'm her legs," echoing in my head
Christina, you're amazing, loving and tough
Someone I could count on, and real as fuck.
ChorusNow the hardest part is letting you go
I'll always love you, and I know that you know
I want you to feel the joy that we made
When we got our own place, before it all frayed
Even if it's not with me in the light
You will always have my heart, Christina Wright.
Verse 2I know you wanting to leave is on me
I tried to convince myself I couldn't see
I didn't listen, I couldn't stick to the truth
Couldn't change my ways, ignoring the proof
You told me it hurt, but I did it again
Now it's too late to save us, I'm losing my friend
Crying every night in rehab, feeling so weak
Why am I so stupid? The tears on my cheek
You gave me so many chances to grow
Now the happiness we had is a ghost that I know.
ChorusNow the hardest part is letting you go
I'll always love you, and I know that you know
I want you to feel the joy that we made
When we got our own place, before it all frayed
Even if it's not with me in the light
You will always have my heart, Christina Wright.
BridgeI hear you packing up your stuff from my space
My office, aka the bathroom, an empty place
I hear the tone in your voice on the phone
Talking to your new love, while I sit alone
You explained you were nervous, embarrassed, and shy
Just wanting to hold his hand, and I won't lie
It kills me inside, but it opens my eyes
To see you so happy without a disguise.
Verse 3I just wanted to see your bubbly self shine
Truly happy again, even if you aren't mine
I'll never be as happy as when we were one
But I'm stepping back now, the damage is done
I'm letting you fly, 'cause it's what you deserve
I'll keep all the memories safely preserved
April twentieth, twenty-one, x-o-x-o
Love, Daniel Jones, I'm letting you go.
Final ChorusYeah, the hardest part is letting you go
I'll always love you, no matter what, you know
I want you to feel the joy that we made
When we got our own place, before it all frayed
Even if it's not with me in the light
You will always have my heart, Christina Wright.
