Letting Someone Go

You can't lie to yourself
After loving something true
And I've never loved a soul
Quite the way that I loved you
You told me you despise
Everything that I've become
How we always turn into
Everything we're running from
And I miss the way you followed
When you jaywalked in the street
How you always talked more trash
Than any boy bad mouthing me
And the way that the oak creaked
When you snuck up from my bed
The way that missing someone
Will have you seeing steady red

Take it slow as you leave me
Don't you go home this evening
With someone
That you're acting like is me
And I will try my hardest darling
Wait on a star that's falling
And I will wait so patiently
One thing I have quickly
Come to know
Nothing kills you slower than
Letting someone go

So take it slow as you leave me
Don't you go home this evening
With someone
You're acting like is me
And I will try my hardest darling
Wait on a star that's falling
And I will wait so desperately
One thing I have quickly
Come to know
Nothing kills you slower than
Letting someone go

You can't lie to yourself
After loving something true
And I've never loved a soul
Quite the way that I loved you
You told me you despise
Everything that I've become
How we always turn into
All the things we're running from

Take it slow as you leave me
Don't you go home this evening
With someone
That you're acting like is me
And I will try my hardest darling
Wait on a star that's falling
And I will wait so desperately
One thing I have quickly
Come to know
Nothing kills you slower than
Letting someone go
