If You Really Love Someone

Isabella is long gone to Tennessee
She and I both know its the end of her and me
Her mind is made, it's too late to interfere
But with all my heart, I wish she was still here

I lie awake and think about her anyhow
I wonder if she wishes she could see me now
I'd love to hold her once again
Maybe she'd remember then
Why she loved me once
And why she can again

But if you really love someone, you gotta set 'em free
You gotta let 'em be the person who they wanna be
If they come back around, you know it's meant to be
If you really love someone, if you really love someone
Gotta set 'em free

Seems like forever we were hanging on
Like the final fading moments of a sad old song
Now the silence has taken hold
Our story has been told
It's in with the new and it's out with the old

Cause if you really love someone, you gotta set 'em free
You gotta let 'em be the person who they wanna be
If they come back around, you know it's meant to be
If you really love someone, if you really love someone
Gotta set 'em free

It's hard not to see you, everywhere I go
There's just something that I want you to know

If you really love someone, you gotta set 'em free
You gotta let 'em be the person who they wanna be
If they come back around, you know it's meant to be
If you really love someone, if you really love someone
Gotta set 'em free
You gotta set 'em free
Gotta set 'em free
