The Letting Go Lyrics
Ooh, lover don't you know
All that's left now is some hope?
Thread worn thin on all our clothes,
But where we've been is what we choose.
All you wanted was a wife,
a lover to lie down beside at night,
A patient heart easing your troubled mind,
A home to keep you from the outside.
Ooh, lover can't you tell
a broken love from chiming wedding bells?
Lover, help me to be
A woman with only the truest offering.
All that's left now is some hope?
Thread worn thin on all our clothes,
But where we've been is what we choose.
a lover to lie down beside at night,
A patient heart easing your troubled mind,
A home to keep you from the outside.
a broken love from chiming wedding bells?
Lover, help me to be
A woman with only the truest offering.

I suppose for me, this song is about a man and woman in a relationship and the woman has cheated. But this isn't a big surprise, like he'd previously known she has cheated before. That's it's sort of who she is: "Thread worn thin on all our clothes, But where we've been is what we choose"
But he's disillusioned by his love for her and is too forgiving, he still sees a future with her. This confuses her: "Ooh, lover can't you tell a broken love from chiming wedding bells?"
And she wants to be that for him: "Lover, help me to be A woman with only the truest offering"
