I've been dreading this day
But I've got to tell her
That I no longer love her
She's not the one
'Cause there's no perfect way
To let her down easy
Lettin' her down's easier said than done
But before I could tell her goodbye
She saved me the trouble of watching her cry

She let herself go
Strong and determined
To walk out of this love
Never look back
Without a cross word
Or angry instruction
She quietly ended the show
She let herself go

I made my mind up to tell her
When I came home this morning
I'm tired of pretending
It's just draggin' on
There's a whole lot of cryin'
In the heart of a woman
When she already knew
She was already gone

She let herself go
Strong and determined
To walk out of this love
Never look back
Without a cross word
Or angry instruction
She quietly ended the show
She let herself go
