A Thousand Matches |
Lying on a mattress cause my friend’s crazy sister took my bed away |
Sleeping she looked like an actress in theory and in practice |
I said there’s got to be a better way |
She said you light a thousand matches |
When you finally set fire will you run away? |
So why’d you go and do it |
When you knew that you would go and I would stay? |
I hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days |
She said don’t take it out on him, for the wall has always been |
Supportive in the best of ways |
We’re laughing and crying like madmen dying in the snow |
For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go |
And I said love, you know, I love you so |
When you love someone well you’ve gotta let 'em know |
She said «Nothing's changed, I love you the same |
When you love someone, sometimes you gotta let 'em go» |
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart |
She said I’m gonna take this home |
For I know you’ll only lose it somewhere after dark |
In some faceless hotel room |
You seem to lose everything you know |
She didn’t mean it how it sounded |
What she meant was she would stay and I would go |
And I said love, you know, I love you so |
When you love someone well you’ve gotta let 'em know |
She said «Nothing's changed |
I love you the same |
When you love someone |
Sometimes you gotta let 'em go» |
Sometimes you tear it all apart |
To see the wood from the trees |
Sometimes you break your own heart |
To set yourself free |
I walked her to the station |
Hesitation in our movements and our tone |
Words finally left after realizing |
How uncomfortable they’d grown |
See, what you want and what you need, well |
They seldomly succeed to grow |
We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone |
You gotta let them go |
