[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Are you wasted again?
Staying out late with your friends?
It's 4 in the morning, what's so important
That you gotta call me this late? (Uh uh)
I been working on a mixtape (Uh uh)
All about our history, a fifth day
What a mistake, you're gonna miss me
Now we're up all night just like old times
Talking 'bout the way it was
You were tryna hurt my pride, cut off ties
Are you tryna hang it up?
I was thinking we could get together, try to figure it out
You say you weren't ready just yet
Now I'm standing in the middle, sick of waiting around
Won't you tell me what comes next?

[Chorus]
If you want it, you can have my heavy heart
You can put it back together, you can tear my limbs apart
If you're leaving, if you got no place to go
You can fly to California, you can have some time alone
Just let me know

[Post-Chorus]
You should let me know, you should let me know
Know, know, know, know, know
You should let me know, you should let me know

[Verse 2]
When you left me, I was broken, made me less than who I am
Had me crawling with excuses, got these bruises on my hands
Told me everything was perfect, what's going on in your head?
If the grass is always greener, why you always on the fence?
I've been up for 20 nights, thinking out loud
Said I wasn't dreaming with my head up in the clouds
Thought you wanted all or nothing, baby (All or nothing, baby)
Guess I gotta prove it to my motherfucking self
That I can find something better for my health
You've taken all of me for granted, but here I am, still standing

[Chorus]
If you want it, you can have my heavy heart
You can put it back together, you can tear my limbs apart
If you're leaving, if you got no place to go
You can fly to California, you can have some time alone
Just let me know

[Post-Chorus]
You should let me know, you should let me know
Know, know, know, know, know
You should let me know, you should let me know

[Outro]
Let me know
Let me know, yeah
Woo
You should let me know, you should let me know
If you think it's time we fix this
If you think it's time we don't, just let me know
And if he finds something within you
That I never found myself, just let me know
Before you go
