Tear the roof off my life
and gut out my insides.
Hold me closer, hold me closer.

Tear the roof off my life
and gut out my insides.
Hold me closer, hold me closer.

In your arms
(I watched you hold her)
It's alright
(and say those words I should have heard)
I should have let you know.
(but they're for her)
In your eyes
(I watched you hold her)
I still fall
I shouldn't have let you go.

I can't believe
that someone's taken my place.
You'll see me burning bright
as I walk away.

It doesn't matter, it's only a matter of time.
But understand that at the very least I tried
to find the cure for my own infectious words.
Still singing, "I'll never let you go from my heart"
like you were the only one.

In your arms
(I watched you hold her)
It's alright
(and say those words I should have heard)
I should have let you know.
(but they're for her)
In your eyes
(I watched you hold her)
I still fall
I shouldn't have let you go.

I kissed the bottle
now that it's my only love.
I am the smile.
I am the thing that you needed for a while.

It doesn't matter, it's only a matter of time.
But understand that at the very least I tried
to find the cure for my own infectious words.
Still singing, "I'll never let you go from my heart"
like you were the only one
to ever get this close to my heart.

In your arms
(I watched you hold her)
It's alright
(and say those words I should have heard)
I should have let you know.
(but they're for her)
In your eyes
(I watched you hold her)
I still fall
I shouldn't have let you go.

Forgive me baby for giving it all away
for taking up your time and forsaking everything.

Find me gone someday
it's closer than you know.
Your silhouette still framed in light:
Goodbye at dawn, so long, goodnight.
My time is wasted feeling chased.
I'm running far away to you again.

In your arms
(I watched you hold her)
It's alright
(and say those words I should have heard)
I should have let you know.
(but they're for her)
In your eyes
(I watched you hold her)
I still fall
I shouldn't have let you go.

(No, no, no, no)
Those waves she made
(Running far away to you again)
(I shouldn't have let you go)
will wash away everything
(no, no, no, no)
that we've burnt away.
(Running far away to you again)
Those waves she made
(Running far away to you again)
(I shouldn't have let you go)
will wash away everything
(no, no, no, no)
that we've burn away.
(Running far away to you again)

I shouldn't have let you go, no, no, no, no.
(Running far away to you again)
I shouldn't have let you go, no, no, no, no.
(Running far away to you again)
I shouldn't have let you go, no, no, no, no.
(Running far away to you again)
I shouldn't have let you go, no, no, no, no.
(Running far away to you again)
I shouldn't have let you go.
