We haven't been what you call 'in love' for a while

Did she know that?

She knew it first

The butterflies I felt had only begun to cut and itch

As much as you tried to hide it I knew

You were just dying to flip your switch

Tried to play dress-up, but never learned to play house

Fear giving license to the words falling from your mouth

Our love was lost

Your heart turned cold

And that was when I let you go

I let you go, I let you go

Poking corpses and throwing blame

How could I have thought I'd be the one to drive the demons away?

Romanticism seduced by the beauty of form

Those supple lines, a familiar warmth

Turned heart as cold as stone

I've lost track of what is love and which is hate

But I'm through being your punching bag and your referee in your battleground

I'm going to help myself

Our love was lost

Your heart turned cold

And that was when I let you go (I let you go)

I let you go

Fall back to the upstairs bedroom

Way back when it all just seemed

To make more sense then and fall in place

There was a time when I felt okay

I felt okay (I felt okay)

I felt okay
