It was just a few years in the making now

The two were locked in a heated dispute

Cause he was gone when she needed him more

Then she could really ever let on to

They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts

But moving out can erase the time

The two had spent it on working it out and

Everybody knew that they were out of their minds

Oh, you know you really need to settle down

And let it go

You know you really need to settle down

You really need to let it go

Consider this, he was moving on while

She was busy trying to pass the time

Between the previous and next nervous breakdown

The girl had given up the love of her life

And all the time that she was givin' up slowly

He didn't notice when she ran away

And when it came to finally letting him on

Well this is every single word she'd say...

Oh, you know you really need to settle down

And let it go

You know you really need to settle down

You really need to let it go

For good, forget his lies -

The only way to save your life

Cause this is restitution

For the love you've thrown away

Just say you left me like you could

Although you said you never would

Just say it's done, and be gone

Just say you left me like you could

Although you said you never would

Just say it's done, and be gone

Just say it's done, and be gone

Let it go!

You know you really need to settle down

Let it go!

You know you really need to settle down

You really need to let it go

For good, forget his lies

The only way to save your life

Cause this is restitution

For the love you've thrown away

You know you really need to settle down

You know you really need to settle down

You really need to let it go
