Didn't know you better
Than you know yourself
Didn't know you wanted water
When you asked for rain
We've been here so many times before
If that's your motive
And I don't wanna play
Golden but all alone
Looking at the waves, saying, "Where'd it all go, oh?"
Think of you and I take it back
Close my eyes now, remember that
And we could hold on, but say nothing
Really gotta let it go
Actually you know, no, you don't know
Got to let it go
You used to be afraid, don't be
'Cause all the things you hate aren't real
Words spoken in a fight, one night
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah, I still see it, but I don't need it
So, why not free it?
No love letters, love them better
Throw your love away
Throw it all, all away
Burn it in the fire, burn away
Watch it, hold it
But just don't try to own it, whoa
And we could breathe air into a dream
You wanna see it 'til you don't see it
Try shining a bright light
Golden but all alone
Standing on the edge saying, "Where'd it all go, oh?"
Think of us I don't want it back
Open eyes now, thanks for that
And we could hold on, but say nothing
Really gotta let it go
Actually you know, no, you don't know
Got to let it go
You used to be afraid, don't be
'Cause all the things you hate aren't real
Words spoken in a fight, one night
Oh-oh, yeah-yeah, I still see it (see it), but I don't need it
So, why not free it?
No love letters, love them better
Throw your love away
