[Verse 1:]
I'm making a statement of my own opinion,
Just a brief little reminder to help myself remember
I no longer live in your dominion, no, no, no, ooh!
You're just trifling, nothing more than a liability,
Got up & lay all your possessions
Outside the kitchen window right now.

[Chorus:]
Letting go, letting go ain't easy,
Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful
‘Cause somebody you used to know
It's flinging your world around,
And they watch, as you're falling down, down,
Falling down, baby.

[Verse 2:]
Evidently your words were merely lies
Reverberating in my ears,
And the echo won't subside.
There's deep, deep loss of hope,
And the anger burns in me.
I hope you don't get no ideas ‘bout re-uniting, baby,
‘Cause that's the last thing I truly need.
Your audacity is too much to be believed, so
Go to MiMi on your contacts, press delete.

[Chorus:]
Letting go, letting go ain't easy,
Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful
‘Cause somebody you used to know
It's flinging your world around,
And they watch, as you're falling down, down,
Falling down, baby.

[Bridge:]
Baby, letting go, baby, letting go,
Ain't easy, ain't easy.
Baby, letting go, baby, letting go, whoa,
Ain't easy, ain't easy, no!

[Chorus:]
Letting go, letting go ain't easy,
Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful
‘Cause somebody you used to know
It's flinging your world around,
And they watch, as you're falling down, down,
Falling down, baby.
