(Just let me go) (Why won't you just let me go?) (Just let me go) (Why won't you just let me go?) I try to hold my breath, but she reads between the lines 'Cause she loves cocaine and the nineteen seventy-five And I should know better, but I'm blown away When I can hold my own, I might come back someday Try to make ends meet in the streets I've never seen (Just let me go) I blurt out lies, and I don't know why (Why won't you just let me go?) Get out of my head, and I'll get out of yours (Why won't you just--?) You've learned so much from the back of your credit card Should I bide my time? Should I hold my tongue? What if I let go, and everything goes wrong? Maybe she's in pain? Maybe she needs love? So, the love I feel, I've got enough for both of us Have I said too much? Does she think I'm lying? Has she ever seen a man when he's been struck by lightning? And I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever be the same (One, two--) I try to hold my breath, but she reads between the lines 'Cause she loves cocaine and the nineteen seventy-five (So do I) And I should know better, but I'm petrified, yeah 'Cause it's only when she's halfway dead that she feels so alive Should I bide my time? Should I hold my tongue? What if I let go, and everything goes wrong? Maybe she's in pain? Maybe she needs love? So, the love I feel, I've got enough for both of us Have I said too much? Does she think I'm lying? Has she ever seen a man when he's been struck by lightning? And I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever be the same She missed her train, she was sat in the front of the car When she laughed, I laughed too; so infectious I said, "You're an addict" She called me pretentious for using big words The hypocrisy's tragic I've lost my lid in the way that she lives I hate what she takes, but I love what she gives me My seatbelt's on; has the moment gone? 'Cause for a second, it was magic For a second it was magic So I take my time, and I wait my turn And I let her go before I get myself burned Maybe she needs me, maybe I need her But that was second-hand love; I've got enough for both of us 'Cause I've said too much, and she thinks I'm a liar Has she ever seen a man when he's been set on fire? And I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be the same And I'll never see her again, hey! (Don't want to take too long) And I'll never see her again (Don't want to face the truth) And I'll never see her again (Don't want to take too long) And I'll never see her again (Don't want to face the truth) Again, again, again! (Why won't you just let me go?) (Just let me go) (Why won't you just let me go?)
