[al:]
[00:14.90] Lying on the mattress
[00:16.68] Cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
[00:22.23] Sleeping, she looked like an actress,
[00:24.26] A theory I didn't practice,
[00:26.19] I said "There's got to be a better way"
[00:29.81] She said: "You light a thousand matches
[00:31.97] When you finally set fire when you run away
[00:36.70] So why'd you go and do it
[00:39.78] When you knew that you would go and I would stay"
[00:43.42]
[00:45.33] I hit the wall in frustration,
[00:46.81] The conversation had been circling for days
[00:52.37] She said: "Don't take it out on him,
[00:54.85] For the wall has always been
[00:56.72] Supportive in the best of ways"
[01:01.20]
[01:01.46] We're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
[01:07.54] For just one second it was funny that
[01:10.86] She would have to stay and I would go
[01:14.57]
[01:16.38] I said "I love you know I love you so,
[01:19.93] When you love someone
[01:21.82] Well you've got to let them know."
[01:23.97] And She said: "Nothing's changed I love you the same,
[01:27.88] but when you love someone sometimes
[01:29.83] you gotta let them go."
[01:42.52]
[01:44.12] She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
[01:51.92] She said: "I'm gonna take this home
[01:55.51] For I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
[02:01.36] 'Cause some faces so terribly seem to lose everything you own."
[02:08.23] She didn't mean it how it sounded,
[02:11.06] What she meant was she would stay and I would go
[02:15.10]
[02:17.22] And I said: "I love you know I love you so,
[02:17.41] When you love someone
[02:22.36] Well you've got to let them know"
[02:24.37] She said: "Nothing's changed I love you the same,
[02:28.71] But when you love someone sometimes
[02:30.63] You gotta let them go"
[02:35.96]
[02:36.18] Sometimes you tear it all apart,
[02:39.82] To see the wood from the trees
[02:43.61] Sometimes you break your own heart
[02:47.81] To set yourself free
[02:53.26]
[03:02.86] I walked her to the station,
[03:06.14] Hesitation in our movements and our tongue
[03:12.15] Words finally left after realizing
[03:16.34] How uncomfortable they've grown
[03:21.74] What you want and what you need,
[03:24.10] Well they seldomly succeed to grow
[03:30.64] We reluctantly agreed that
[03:33.33] When you love someone,
[03:35.60] You've got to let them go
