This was all you, none of it me

You put your hands all over my body and told me (hmm)

You told me you were ready

For the big one, for the big jump

I'd be your last love everlasting, you and me (hmm)

That was what you told me

I'm giving you up

I've forgiven it all

You set me free

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

I was too strong, you were trembling

You couldn't handle the hot heat rising (rising) (hmm)

Baby, I'm so rising

I was running, you were walking

You couldn't keep up, you were falling down (down) (hmm)

There's only one way down

I'm giving you up

I've forgiven it all

You set me free, oh

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

If you're ready, if you're ready

If you're ready, I am ready

If you're ready, if you're ready

We both know we ain't kids no more

No, we ain't kids no more

I'm giving you up

I've forgiven it all

You set me free

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

Send my love to your new lover

Treat her better

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)

If you're ready, are you ready? (Treat her better)

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more

If you're ready, if you're ready (send my love to your new lover)

If you're ready, are you ready? (Treat her better)

We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts

We both know we ain't kids no more.
