You want to be loved
But you’re not ready for love
A dizzy haze of....
Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged memories of you from my head
The worst lyrics rhyme with dead and
You’ve been gone for so long
The last time we
I’ll never understand
Who hurt you baby?
Just let it go!
Oh, can’t you see?
This isn’t for you, or me
The places you take me I cannot see
‘Cause I want something real
Where what you do is how you feel
And you’re 10,000 miles away
‘Cause I want something real
Where what you do is how you feel
And you’re 10,000 miles away
So this ship has stopped
The air is still and no anchor drop
Let it go. Let it go!
Oh, can’t you see?
This isn’t for you, or me
The places you take me, I cannot see
‘Cause I something real
Where what you do is how you feel
The places you take me I cannot see
Let it go. Just let go. Let it go.
Our song is done
And now it’s time to say
Goodbye, Avoir, Avidsen
You were such a freaking pain
Your new boyfriend is really lame
You want to move further away
But I saw you just yesterday
Ah ha, ah ha, ah ha, ha ha, you’ll never ever relocate
I got you everything you need
A meal, a ride, a wedding ring
You’re drinking never lost its sting
Just let go. Just let go. Just let go...
