[Intro]
"We haven't been what you call 'in love' for a while."
"Did she know that?"
"She knew it first."
[Verse 1]
The butterflies I'd felt
Had only begun to cut and itch
As much as you tried to hide it, I knew
You were just dying to flip your switch
Taught to play dress-up, but never learned to play house
Fear giving license to the words falling from your mouth
[Chorus]
Our love was lost
Your heart turned cold
And that was when
I let you go
I let you go
I let you go
[Verse 2]
Poking corpses and throwing blame
How could I have thought I'd be the one
To drive the demons away?
Romanticism, seduced by the beauty of form
Those supple lines, a familiar warmth
Turned hard and cold as stone
[Bridge]
"I've lost track of what is love and which is hate, but I'm through being your punching bag and your referee in your battleground. I'm going to help myself."
[Chorus]
Our love was lost
Your heart turned cold
And that was when
I let you go
[Outro]
Fall back to the upstairs bedroom
Way back when it all just seemed
To make more sense then and fall in place
There was a time when I felt okay
I felt okay
(I felt okay)
I felt okay
