Let Me Go

I'm avoidin' the phone, I don't pick up when it rings
'Cause if I say hello, then the questions begin
They're like "Where did you go?", They're like "Where have you been?"
"I feel like you cut me off, and here I thought we were friends"

It's been a while since we spoke, yeah, I know
I think about you all the time, you'll always be the bros
I can't give you my new number, can't invite y'all to my home
The last time that we kicked it, we were drunk doin' coke
I told Jesus take the wheel, I swear to God He steers
I just had a mental breakdown and faced my fears
Me and Nova been together for like four, five years
And she the only one who stayed when I cried those tears
I'm a new man now, the news came out, yeah
I collected all my booze and I threw that out
Collectin' blueface now, your dude came down
From bein' way too high in a few rainclouds
I ain't hatin', I still love you, y'all were not bad friends
We were on the same page, but every chapter ends
I still watch y'all from a distance, we ain't hangin' again
I left that life, ain't gettin' dragged back in

You know I had to let you go
If you love me, let me fly, this isn't goodbye
But if you love me, let me go
I think about you all the time, I'll never say goodbye
Goodbye

I spent most of my time just tryna get right
I was chasin' those lights, flyin' higher than a kite
Drinks led to fights, what happened last night?
I'll wake up all alone, that's a sad life
Everything changed, came home from prison
Phone rang, same thing, "Be over in a minute"
Hold up, I was gone and you never came to visit?
Now you show up? I don't see you, we ain't got the same vision
Raised my son, made my own business
How I make it this far, you in the same bar sittin'
I ain't drank in four years, and for me that's more livin'
I worked like a dog, everything is for my children
Just had my first baby girl, named her Grey
Lookin' at her face, the whole world ain't the same
My soul used to hurt, it would cry out loud
As I sit here and write this, I'm cryin' right now

You know I had to let you go
If you love me, let me fly, this isn't goodbye
But if you love me, let me go
I think about you all the time, I'll never say goodbye
Goodbye

I'm avoidin' the phone, I don't pick up when it rings
'Cause if I say hello, then the questions begin
They're like "Where did you go?", They're like "Where have you been?"
"I feel like you cut me off, and here I thought we were friends"

You know I had to let you go
If you love me, let me fly, this isn't goodbye
But if you love me, let me go
I think about you all the time, I'll never say goodbye
Goodbye
