Chris Stapleton has entered rom-com territory with a heartbreaking new ballad called “Heart Letting Go.” The country singer unveiled the song as a part of the soundtrack for Netflix‘s Nobody Wants This.
The collection of songs arrived on Thursday (Oct. 23), the same day the second season premiered on the streamer.
“Heart Letting Go” speaks to a relationship that’s going cold. The fire that once burned is slowly fading and the narrator can’t decide which will hurt more: staying or leaving.
“It’s hard to stay, but leaving hurts / And I’m not sure which one is the worst / ‘Cause tonight I’ll hold the love I used to know / And listen to a heart letting go,” Stapleton sings on the chorus.

Check Out Chris Stapleton’s “Heart Letting Go” Lyrics:
(Verse 1:)
I don’t see the same look in your eyes / The one that used to say we’re meant to be / I don’t feel the hunger in your touch / You used to tell me I’m all you need
(Chorus:)
It’s hard to stay, but leaving hurts / And I’m not sure which one is the worst / ‘Cause tonight I’ll hold the love I used to know / And listen to a heart letting go
(Verse 2:)
Just how long it’s been, I can’t recall / Since I felt the warmth of your kiss / And all the little things you used to do / Are all the things that I already miss
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
When you decide to say goodbye / How am I supposed to live without you? / I don’t know / Don’t know why I’m holding on / We both know that you’re already gone
(Repeat chorus)
(Outro:)
Oh, tonight I’ll hold the love I used to know / And listen to a heart letting go / A heart letting go
