## Lyrics
[verse]
I packed your picture in a shoebox,
I threw the movie tickets out,
I told my friends I'm doing great now,
But that's not what it's about.
I dial your number out of habit,
Then hang up before it rings,
Funny how a little habit
Can undo a thousand things.

[chorus]
Letting go, letting go, oh it's a heavy load,
Every step I take is down a lonesome road,
I say I'm fine, I say I'm through,
But quitting you, quitting you,
Is the hardest thing I ever had to do.

[verse]
I see your jacket on the hanger,
Smell the collar, close my eyes,
I'm supposed to be the stranger
Walking calmly to goodbye.
But my heart keeps running backwards
Like a record stuck on you,
Every time I try to move on
I end up circling back to you.

[chorus]
Letting go, letting go, oh it's a heavy load,
Every step I take is down a lonesome road,
I say I'm fine, I say I'm through,
But quitting you, quitting you,
Is the hardest thing I ever had to do.

[bridge]
Maybe someday I'll laugh about it,
Tell the story like it's funny too,
But right now I can't live without it,
The simple joy of loving you.

[chorus]
Letting go, letting go, oh it's a heavy load,
Every step I take is down a lonesome road,
I say I'm fine, I say I'm through,
But quitting you, quitting you,
Is the hardest thing I ever had to do.
