I'm not tryna hold you back, really hope you understand
I know I've been holding back but he really hurt me bad
Not tryna mess up this relationship, thinkin'
And made it hard to trust again
It keeps holding me down, I gotta let it go
And I don't want to lose a good thing, no
He made it so hard to trust someone
When I think about just what I need, makes it hard to trust someone
You see I trusted him with everything
See I know I'm being selfish but I gotta let it go
Gotta leave those things behind
Gotta leave those things behind
Baby I gotta let go, don't wanna miss out on love this time
I wanna give love a chance 'cuz you may never know
Gotta leave those things behind
The way that I feel
Baby I gotta let go, don't wanna miss out on love this time
I don't wanna take my past and put it all on you
When I think of what he did to me, makes it hard to fall in love
Close that chapter, close that book
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I can't come with all this baggage thinking he's gonna have it
To many mistakes in love I've made
I'm not tryna hold you back, really hope you understand
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Baby you can be the the one for me, yes, the only one for me
I'm not tryna hold you back, really hope you understand
I don't wanna take my past and put it all on you
When I think about just what I need, makes it hard to trust someone
I don't know what I'm gonna do
When I think about just what I need, makes it hard to trust someone
Never held back anything thought we'd be together for the rest of our lives
When I think of what he did to me, makes it hard to fall in love
I don't wanna be this way but I'm hoping you can change
One disappointment, one heart break
When I think of what he did to me, makes it hard to fall in love
With love you keep me showered but so did my ex-man at first
'Cuz I know true love is waitin' for me again
I know I've been holding back but he really hurt me bad
So suddenly he took his love away
Faith in love is all it ever took
Whatever's yours you call it ours send flowers
You see what started out so simple, all flew out the window
I know I've been holding back but he really hurt me bad
I don't wanna take my past and put it all on you
'Cuz the last man did me that way, you gon' do the same things
There I go comparing you to him again
That's why I never gave up and never gave in
Baby I gotta let go, don't wanna miss out on love this time
