Nothing can give us back this time we've wasted
We weren't thinking, straight act like you don't know
Tangled in these games we play with no meaning
Too late to regret them, I pray we'll learn to let go
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I pray we'll learn to let go
Pray we'll learn to let go
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I pray we'll learn to let go
Pray we'll learn to let go
Mother, you could not let me go
Still you couldn't keep me from pain
Keep me away from it all
Father, it was all out of love
But tell me why it tears me apart?
Why do we end up with the hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt?
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
So tired of hearing that time fixes everything
Mistakes keep repeating, I can't make sense of it all
You're my palm reader, wanna know every secret
I could stop trying to change you, if you would take me for who I am
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Can you take me for who I am?
Can you take me for who I am?
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Can you take me for who I am?
Take me for who I-
Mother, you could not let me go
Still you couldn't keep me from pain
Keep me away from it all
Father, it was all out of love
But tell me why it tears me apart?
Why do we end up with the hurt?
Mother, I keep letting you down
Tell me why it's never enough
I end up with nothing at all
Father, you would not let me fall
But why are you afraid to look down?
Afraid we'll end up with the hurt
Mother, why do we act so cold?
The difference it would have made
To realise we were the same
And all the good we could have done
If we had felt like we were one
You're my palm reader, wanna know all my secrets
I could stop trying to change you, can you take me for who I am?
Mother, you could not let me go
Still you couldn't keep me from pain
Keep me away from it all
Father, it was all out of love
But tell me why it tears me apart?
Why do we end up with the hurt?
Mother, I keep letting you down
Tell me why it's never enough
I end up with nothing at all
Father, you would not let me fall
But why are you afraid to look down?
Afraid we'll end up with the hurt
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
Hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
We'll end up with the hurt
