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 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 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
