"Let Me Go" lyrics

I'm avoidin' the phone, I don't pick up when it rings
'Cause if I say hello, then the questions begin
They're like "Where did you go?", they're like "Where have you been?"
"I feel like you cut me off, and here I thought we were friends"

It's been a while since we spoke, yeah, I know
I think about you all the time, you'll always be the bros
I can't give you my new number, can't invite y'all to my home
The last time that we kicked it, we were drunk doin' coke
I told Jesus take the wheel, I swear to God He steers
I just had a mental breakdown and faced my fears
Me and Nova been together for like four, five years
And she the only one who stayed when I cried those tears
I'm a new man now, the news came out, yeah
I collected all my booze and I threw that out
Collectin' blueface now, your dude came down
From bein' way too high in a few rain clouds
I ain't hatin', I still love you, y'all were not bad friends
We were on the same page, but every chapter ends
I still watch y'all from a distance, we ain't hangin' again
I left that life, ain't gettin' dragged back in

You know I had to let you go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
If you love me, let me fly, this isn't goodbye
But if you love me, let me go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I think about you all the time, I'll never say goodbye
Goodbye

I spent most of my time just tryna get right
I was chasin' those lights, flyin' higher than a kite
Drinks led to fights which happened last night
I'll wake up all alone, that's a sad life
Everything changed, came home from prison
Phone rang, same thing, "Be over in a minute"
Hol' up, I was gone and you never came to visit?
Now you show up? I don't see you, we ain't got the same vision
Raised my son, made my own business
How I make it this far, you in the same bar sittin'
I ain't drinkin' for years, and for me that's more livin'
I work like a dog, everything is for my children
Just had my first baby girl, I named her Grey
Lookin' at her face, the whole world ain't the same
My soul used to hurt, it would cry out loud
'Cause I sit here and write this, I'm cryin' right now

You know I had to let you go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
If you love me, let me fly, this isn't goodbye
But if you love me, let me go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I think about you all the time, I'll never say goodbye
Goodbye

I'm avoidin' the phone, I don't pick up when it rings
'Cause if I say hello, then the questions begin
They're like "Where did you go?", they're like "Where have you been?"
"I feel like you cut me off, and here I thought we were friends"

You know I had to let you go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
If you love me, let me fly, this isn't goodbye
But if you love me, let me go, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I think about you all the time, I'll never say goodbye
Goodbye
