about

Co-written with Rob Repass.

lyrics

I could lie and say it's workin' but we both know it ain't
Lemme' wipe away those tears and I'll tell it to you straight
If I'm bein' honest we both held on too long
Probably for the best I guess that one of us moves on

If you love somebody set 'em free and see if they come back
Well I'm lookin' at the tail lights of a beat up Pontiac
It's hell on earth just sittin' here punishing my mind
Missin' you and wishin' I woulda' kissed you one more time

I know we've had our share of ups and downs
And I know there was somebody else you wanted anyhow
If she walks back through that door again
Tell her that you're hers and then
Ask her if her heart's been dreamin' of you
Let her love you
Let her love you

We'll always have the memory of those trips to Alabama
Sure did love the Sunday drives and most of all your mama
I'm sorry 'bout the times I made you feel like you were wrong
Didn't see it comin' I just woke up and you were gone

I know we've had our share of ups and downs
And I know there was somebody else you wanted anyhow
If she walks back through that door again
Tell her that you're hers and then
Ask her if her heart's been dreamin' of you
Let her love you
Let her love you

You only cheat the one you love when hold your cards too tight
When the chance comes around again don't let it pass you by
