They say if you love something, let it go
And if it doesn t come back to you
Then it was never yours to begin with

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
