You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast And you've been hoping this year will be better than the last You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights With the strongest drinks and longest lines, it's not that big of a surprise That you're feeling more dead than alive You're feeling more dead than alive
So I'll let you know if you need Somewhere to go I'll be listening when you call And I'll be there if you fall off If you need someone to believe in you I'll let you know I will
You said the hole in your head has gotten bigger than the whole that's in your chest And you're stuck between the past and present tense Said you've been waging a war against so many years of lies With stronger drinks and longer lines, it's not that big of a surprise That you're feeling more dead than alive You're feeling more dead than alive
So I'll let you know if you need Somewhere to go I'll be listening when you call And I'll be there if you fall off If you need someone to believe in you I'll let you know I will
But sometimes you've gotta let it go
So this pen is starting to become A pipe bomb and these songs Have turned to anthems again To everything that's changed and to everything that's gone away Here are my condolences to the future I never met It's gone and never coming back It's never coming back So don't hold onto your past You've gotta let it go
'Cause friends leave as time fades away The people and the places along the way Without a doubt Screws fall in and screws they fall out
Tomorrow's gone up in smoke And I wonder when I'm alone Where did my convictions go? So to everyone that's gone away Or fades away or stays the same Here are my apologies to the person that I used to be Before I burned down every bridge and every inch Of everything I used to know I gotta let it go
Friends leave as time fades away The people and the places along the way So don't hold onto your past No, it's never coming back You've gotta let it go
