Let Her

Esperanza Spalding

You just walked in, to the quiet after the storm, yeah
It's so chillingly silent
And you sense that something's wrong.
Hmmm, something's surely wrong.
Then you saw the letter
With the keys laying on the counter
And you know just what it means
And grab the phone to call her.

Now is this another of her cruel jokes or
She made good those threats to finally leave you?
Tears well up in your eyes but your worn-down nerves won't let you cry
And finally...

She's gone, bye bye, so long.
Let her, go
She's gone, bye bye, so long.
My life goes on.

Apartment stripped and silent
Still you hear each fight and sobbing make up
And all those crazy ways you forgave each time she loved you.
Now that you're all alone you
Realize she filled your life with litter.
Her kisses used to thrill, now the aftertaste is bitter
With the memories from the mess you've endured
When now...

She's gone, bye bye, so long.
Let her, go
She's gone, bye bye, so long.
My life goes on.
