I want you back within my heart Lettin' go was the hardest part Oh take me back into your heart Lettin' go was the hardest part Possessive love can never be right And I found out the other night You never gave me a reason to doubt I was afraid when you walked out I should've held back But I felt my pride Was welling up inside me And now you're gone I held too tight and you went away Come back to my heart Letting go was the hardest part I'd give my all just to hear you say Take me back to your heart Letting go was the hardest part Two hearts are better When they stay free That's what you always said to me Don't try to own or you will destroy That very thing that brought you joy My fantasy made a fool out of me I always thought I was so strong And now you're gone I think I finally understand I let the reins slip through my hand I held too tight A caged bird always wants to fly Letting go was the hardest part
