Lyrics
[Intro]
Just the guitar? Okay, cool
[Verse 1]
This was all you, none of it me
You put your hands on, on my body and told me
Mmm, you told me you were ready
For the big one, for the big jump
I'd be your last love, everlasting you and me
Mmm, that was what you told me
[PreChorus]
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I was too strong, you were trembling
You couldn't handle the hot heat rising (Rising)
Mmm, baby, I'm still rising
I was running, you were walking
You couldn't keep up, you were falling down (Down)
Mmm, there's only one way down
[PreChorus]
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free, oh
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[PreChorus]
I'm giving you up
I've forgiven it all
You set me free
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
(Send my love to your new lover) If you're ready, if you're ready
If you're ready, I am ready (Treat her better)
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
[Outro]
(Send my love to your new lover) If you're ready, if you're ready
If you're ready, I am ready (Treat her better)
We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts
We both know we ain't kids no more
