[Verse 1: Avril Lavigne] Love that once hung on the wall Used to mean something But now it means nothing The echoes are gone in the hall But I still remember The pain of December [Pre-Chorus: Avril Lavigne] Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say I'm sorry, it's too late [Chorus: Avril Lavigne & Chad Kroeger] I'm breakin' free from these memories Gotta let it go, just let it go I've said goodbye, set it all on fire Gotta let it go, just let it go [Post-Chorus: Avril Lavigne] Oh-oh Oh-oh [Verse 2: Chad Kroeger] You came back to find I was gone And that place is empty Like the hole that was left in me Like we were nothing at all It's not what you meant to me Thought we were meant to be [Pre-Chorus: Chad Kroeger with Avril Lavigne] Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say (Left you could say) I'm sorry, it's too late [Chorus: Avril Lavigne & Chad Kroeger] I'm breakin' free from these memories Gotta let it go, just let it go I've said goodbye, set it all on fire Gotta let it go, just let it go [Bridge: Avril Lavigne & (Chad Kroeger)] I let it go (And now I know) A brand new life (Is down this road) And when it's right (You always know) So this time (I won't let go) [Pre-Chorus: Avril Lavigne] There's only one thing left here to say Love's never too late [Chorus: Avril Lavigne & Chad Kroeger] I've broken free from those memories I've let it go, I've let it go And two goodbyes led to this new life Don't let me go, don't let me go [Post-Chorus: Avril Lavigne] Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go Don't let me go [Outro: Avril Lavigne] Won't let you go Don't let me go Won't let you go Don't let me go Won't let you go Don't let me go Won't let you go Don't let me go
