Lyrics:
Lying on a mattress cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away Sleeping she looked like an actress 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 will 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 frustration, the conversation had been circling for days She said don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been Supportive in the best of ways We're laughing and crying like madmen dying in the snow For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go And I said love, you know, I love you so When you love someone well you've gotta let 'em know She said "Nothing's changed, I love you the same When you love someone, sometimes you gotta let 'em go" She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart She said I'm gonna take this home For I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark In some faceless hotel room You seem to lose everything you know She didn't mean it how it sounded What she meant was she would stay and I would go And I said love, you know, I love you so When you love someone well you've gotta let 'em know She said "Nothing's changed I love you the same When you love someone Sometimes you gotta let 'em go" Sometimes you tear it all apart To see the wood from the trees Sometimes you break your own heart To set yourself 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
