thank me later up close

Sigrid

Is it supposed to be like
A never-ending train ride?
Or waiting for a grey sky to turn to sun?
I kiss you when I feel it
We talk like we re defeated
We re just scared of being quitters after this love

So won t you say the words we re chokin on?

I need to let you go, let you go
It s better for us both
You don t see it, but I m doin us a favor
I need to let you go, let you go
Cause when you know, you know
And it s hurting right now, but you ll thank me later
I need to let you go

Let s not decorate the sadness
Let s just rip off the Band-Aid
And hug and say it s okay, we stop right here
The sooner that we re not together
You ll find someone better
But if we re gonna get there
No, if we re gonna get there

I need to let you go, let you go
It s better for us both
You don t see it, but I m doin us a favor
I need to let you go, let you go
Cause when you know, you know
And it s hurting right now, but you ll thank me later
I need to let you go

I know nothing s ever promised
But I hate walkin away
Cause this isn t how I saw it
Tears running down my face
I know nothing s ever promised
But I hate walkin away
Cause this isn t how I saw it

I need to let you go, let you go
It s better for us both
You don t see it, but I m doin us a favor
I need to let you go, let you go
Cause when you know, you know
And it s hurting right now, but you ll thank me later
I need to let you go
