âThey say if you love something, let it go
And if it doesn't come back to you
Then it was never yours to begin withâ
This is my renunciation...
After so long I've decided to give up the fight
It's all over for us and baby, I know
I have to find the strength to do what's right
Even if it means letting you go
I know I can't offer you the things she does
But I wish you still loved me
And you could be with me tonight
This is my renunciation
I've given up all that's dear
And I have given it to her
She's the only one you love
You've made it clear
So this is my renunciation
Can't believe it was so long ago
You and I were so very young
I had all your love, this I know
Remembering our days in the sun
But everything's changed as of today
Which is why I have to give you away
And it's killing me to see you go
This is my renunciation
I've given up all that's dear
And I have given it to her
She's the only one you love
You've made it clear
So this is my renunciation
And even though it's all over
Old memories keep playing in my mind
Of the flesh and the passion of a love we once shared
And they are always there to remind
Me of those hot nights
With hopes you also remember
As well as how much I loved you
Enough to surrender
This is my renunciation
I've given up all that's dear
And I have given it to her
She's the only one you love
You've made it clear
So this is my renunciation
