I'm, I'm Through I'm through with you... Right back where we started Falling apart at the seams You've tagged your name on my heart And I sat there and let it bleed Sweetheart so now this is goodbye [Chorus] I'm letting you go You're letting me down Been caught in your reign and I almost drowned I'm letting you go, our love's black and blue How many words does it take To say I'm through? I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I'm through with you... You said you knew what romance is Jaded I fell for your lies But you're out of second chances Sadly were fading out tonight Sweetheart so now this is goodbye [Chorus] I have to Don't want to I've got to set you free No more words It's over Now I can finally breathe [Chorus x2] I'm letting you go (I have to) You're letting me down (don't want to) Been caught in your reign and I almost drowned (I've got to set you free) I'm letting you go, our love's black and blue (no more words) How many words does it take (It's over) To say I'm through? (now I can finally breathe) I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I'm through with you... I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I...I...I... I'm, I'm Through I'm through with you
