Thank Me Later (up close)

[Verse 1]

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 long

[Pre-Chorus]

So won't you say the words we're chokin' on?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Let's not decorate the sadness

Let's just rip off thе Band-Aid

And hug and say it's okay, we stop right here

Thе 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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
