Why Should I Let You Go

Thought I had it figured out

Could've sworn I knew it all

Turns out when the chips were down

I knew nothing at all

Thought it's what I had to do

Thought it's who I had to be

Now I'm sitting in this room

Hoping you'll come back to me

You're an astral comet in my mind

My favorite kind of void in space and time

Tell me, why should I let you go

Face the seasons on my own?

Tell me, why should I let you go

Staring at the ceiling, burning holes

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, this feeling, burning holes

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, when you were in my bed

I could never get to sleep

Now that you're not there to hold

Oh, there's too much room for me

There's your photo on the wall

Another favorite memory

Here's to hoping that you'll fall into a hole that sends you back in time to me

Oh, baby, why

Tell me, why should I let you go

Face the seasons on my own?

Tell me, why should I let you go

Staring at the ceiling, burning holes

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, this feeling, burning holes

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Ooh, so, I stay out too late, act like I am doing fine

But I'm looking for you, oh, in someone else's eyes

Oh, I stay out too late, act like I am doing fine

But I'm looking for you in someone else's eyes

You're an astral comet in my mind

Oh, my favorite kind of void in space and time

Tell me, why should I let you go

Face the seasons on my own?

Tell me, why should I let you go

Staring at the ceiling, burning holes

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, this feeling, burning holes

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Ooh-ooh
