When You Let Me Go [Portuguese translation]

When I saw you smiling

Not too long ago

Everything was brighter

How was to know?

That before too long you'd be changing

Someone else was there

Now you must confess that it's so much less

Than you once used to care

You can tell me that I'm crazy

But you know it's true

I don't want to wait till tomorrow

So tell me what to do

But if you're taking for granted

That I came here to stay

Sorry baby but now you're wrong

I have to say

When you let me go

I'll be gone forever

If you let me know

Things can't be the same

When you let me go

Then it's now or never

If you let me know

I'll forget your name

Some people say that it happens

Like a strange disease

Nobody knows what the cure is

You're just down on your knees

And I still can't help believing

Soon we'll both be fine

But then I guess now there's someone else

Out there who holds the line

Why did you think we could make it

And why did you tell me so?

Now it's time for you to say

"I plan to let you go"

Even if it's harder than ever

And that's the price you pay

Late is better than never you know

So please tell me today

When you let me go

I'll be gone forever

If you let me know

Things can't be the same

When you let me go

Then it's now or never

If you let me know

I'll forget your name
