Lying on a mattress 'cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away.
Sleeping, she looked like an actres, in theory and in practice,
I said "There's got to be a better way"
She said: "You light a thousand matches
when you finally set fire well you run away
so why'd you go and do it when you
knew that you would go and I would stay"
I hit the wall in fustration,
the conversation had been circling for days
She said: "Don't take it out on him, for the wall
had always been supportive in the best ways"
We're laughing and crying
like mad men dying in the snow.
For just one second it was funny
that she would have to stay and I would go.
And i said "I love you know i love you so,
when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
And she said: "Nothing's changed I love you the same,
when you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go."
*Instramental*
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
She said: "I'm gonna take this home for
I only know you'll lose it somewhere after dark
n some faceless hotel room you
seem to lose everything you own."
She didn't mean it how it sounded,
what she meant was she would stay and I would go
*Instramental*
And i said "I love you know I love you so,
when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
And she said: "Nothing's changed I love you the same,
when you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go."
Sometimes you tear it all apart,
to see the wood from the trees
Sometimes you break your own heart to set youself free
I walked her to the station,
hesitation in our movements and our tone
Words finally left after realizing how
uncomfortable they'd grown
See what you want and what you need,
well they seldomly succeed to grow
We reluctantly agreed that when
you love someone, you gotta let them go.
