Let Him Go Lyrics

You're holding him so tight
that he can't move

If you never give him room
you're gonna lose.
He's feeling like he's tied up in a knot
Ev'ry time he comes home
late he's on the spot.
Trust him to be the kind of
man he wants to be

You aren't gonna keep him
long if you give him
the third degree.

Let him go
let him go
do the things he's got to do

Give him the freedom that
he needs even though it
worries you.
Let him go
let him go
have the faith that he'll be true
It's the only way you can
be sure he'll come back
to you.

You want your life with
him to work so well

You forget the love you
need to give yourself.
I understand your desire to keep him near

But you poison love when you
mix it up with fear.
Trust yourself to be the woman
that you want to be
If you both have room to grow
then you'll live in harmony.
Let him go
let him go
do the things he's got to do
. . .

Let him go
let him go.
Let him go
let him go
have the faith that he'll be true

It's the only way you can
be sure he'll come back
to you.
Let him go
let him go
let him go.
