Esperanza Spalding - Let Her Lyrics

You just walked in
To the quiet after the storm
It's chillingly silent
And you sense that something's wrong

Ooh, something's surely wrong

Then you saw the letter
With her 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

CHORUS:
She's gone
Bye-bye, so long
Let her go,
She's gone
Bye-bye, so long now
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

[CHORUS]

[KEYBOARD SOLO]

[CHORUS]

She's gone
Bye-bye, so long
Let her go
She's gone
Bye-bye, so long now
Life goes on

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