lyrics

I know where this goes
Won’t call it rejection
But both of us know
Can’t sugar-coat sadness
When it’s time to go
For good

Why is it always
That one crumbling brick
Turns the house we built together
Into a pile of sticks
Leave the pieces alone
It’s clear that our home
Can’t be fixed

Why is it so
I only know
How lovely we are
When letting go

Now I know that my mama
Showed her baby girl
How to tiptoe ‘round the ruins
of heartbreak in this world
But when I saw you
My cool point of view
Came unfurled

Why is it so
I only know
How lovely we’re not
When letting go

And as we slip away
I finally see your face
Tell me what to say
Tell me it’s okay
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me….

Why is it so
I only know
How lovely we are
How lovely we’re now
How lovely we could never be
When letting go
