The letting go Has taken place I have held the winter's son Become one Set my pace Isn't that what we wanted all along Freedom like a stone But I can say goodbye Now that the passion's died Still it comes so slow The letting go
Piece by piece I take apart This complicated heart And I hope to find Something I can prove is real I can feel is truth I can say is mine That's all I ever wanted to be The closer that I got The further I could see But when lovers change And the night feels strange We choose our road The letting go
I came here to let you know The letting go Has taken place
You found out to love me you have to climb some fences Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you And just when it feels right you say you found someone to hold you Does she like I do
Baby tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you Like the way I do Like the way I do
Can I survive all the implications Even if I tried could you be less than an addiction Don't you think I know there's so many others Who would beg steal and lie, fight, kill and die Just to hold you, hold you like I do
Baby tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you Like the way I do
Oh, nobody loves you, like the way I do Nobody wants you, like the way I do Nobody needs you, like the way I do Nobody aches, nobody aches just to hold you Like the way I do No, no, no
Tell me does she love you like the way I love you Does she stimulate you, attract and captivate you Tell me does she miss you, existing just to kiss you Like the way I do Oh, tell me does she want you, infatuate and haunt you Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you Does she inject you, seduce you and affect you, baby Like the way I do
Why did you steal the matches From the one room motel Once they gave you answers Now they give you hell They will never understand They wonder where did they go wrong How could you be so selfish Why can't you get along
And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy
You've seen it in the movies And you've heard it on the street Craving the affection Your blood is full of heat They don't listen to your reasons As original as sin Deny all that you feel And they will bring you home again
And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy
Your body is alive But no one told you what you'd feel The empty aching hours Trying to conceal The natural progression Is the coming of your age But they cover it with shame And turn it into rage
And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy
You are digging for the answers Until your fingers bleed To satisfy the hunger To satiate the need They feed you on the guilt To keep you humble keep you low Some man and myth they made up A thousand years ago
And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy
Mothers tell your children Be quick you must be strong Life is full of wonder Love is never wrong Remember how they taught you How much of it was fear Refuse to hand it down The legacy stops here
Fuck you, goodbye You hurt me, for the last time It's time for me to move on So fuck you and goodbye I gave you love and I hate it Yeah, all of the time that I wasted Fuck you, goodbye You hurt me, for the last time
It's the last time I let you hurt me Fuck you, goodbye, I did not deserve it None of this bullshit was ever really worth it You blame me like I know I ain't perfect I tried with you, and I lied for you Many times, put my life on the line for you I really wanted to get it right with you I always saw the better side of you And now it's fuck you for life I'm doin' better, you right I was wrong 'bout you, I guess I finally realized You brought the dark to my light I'm with a new one tonight But there is one last thing I want to tell you tonight
Fuck you, goodbye You hurt me, for the last time It's time for me to move on So fuck you and goodbye I gave you love and I hate it Yeah, all of the time that I wasted Fuck you, goodbye You hurt me, for the last time
Wait, that was a lie Because I cannot erase you like eternal sunshine in a spotless mind Red in the eyes, lately I've been on a cocaine diet I've been tryin' to feed my high Your things are still in the box you left in the bedroom You'll leave, and I'm here With no heart, guess I'll be dead soon Ghost in a shell, stone like a cemetery Scars don't heal, I got these in February Broke your spell, love is only temporary Highway to hell, I'm hangin' out the roof, yellin'
Fuck you, goodbye (Yeah) You hurt me, for the last time It's time for me to move on So fuck you and goodbye I gave you love and I hate it Yeah, all of the time that I wasted Fuck you, goodbye You hurt me, for the last time
I'm writing you this message just so I can say that I love you, mmm I had to let you know that everything about me was you, yeah I think it's time for me to leave but I'll never leave you I just looked at your pictures so the last thing I did was see you I'm 29 my anxiety's eating me alive I'm fighting with myself and my sobriety every night And last time I couldn't barely open up my eyes, I apologize
I'm not gonna lie and tell you it's alright, it's alright You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright I wrote you this song to keep, when I'm gone if you ever feel alone You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright
I hope you get to go to all the places that I showed you When I was on the road and couldn't be home to hold you Part of me doesn't want this cruel world to know you So just try and keep in mind everything that I told you I'm 29 and society's eating me alive I'm fighting what comes this notoriety every night This is the last time I'll ever open up my eyes, I apologize
I'm not gonna lie and tell you it's alright, it's alright You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright I wrote you this song to keep, when I'm gone if you ever feel alone You're gonna cry and, baby, that's alright, it's alright
And I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you, yeah And I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you And I'll miss you (I'll miss you) I'll miss you (I'll miss you) I'll miss you (I'll miss you) I'll miss you, yeah And I'll miss you (And I'll miss you) I'll miss you (I'll miss you) I'll miss you (I'll miss you) I'll miss you And I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you, yeah And I'll miss you I'll miss you I'll miss you
She walks to school with the lunch she packed Nobody knows what she's holding back Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday She hides the bruises with the linen and lace ohhh
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask Bearin' the burden of the secret storm Sometimes she wishes she was never born Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night The neighbors hear but they turn out the light A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate When morning comes it'll be too late Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved Concrete angel
A statue stands in a shaded place An angel girl with an upturned face A name is written on a polished rock A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved
