Girl was so fly, like a satellite.
Took me outta this world, and I can't do heights.
Tried to stay grounded, but mystery surrounded you.
(I gotta let ya go!)
Boy was so high, and the fall was long;
And left me feelin' like a Death Cab song,
You're off'a star-gazin' but there'll be no erasin' you.
(I gotta let ya go!)
I had a taste, and sharpened up my teeth.
Now all I know, is the taste was bitter-sweet.
You let me in, the love we found was something more.
You were my everything.
You let me in, I let you down, like none-before.
I ruined everything.
You let me in, then shut me out, i'm stuck alone.
You are my everything,
And now letting go takes getting used to.
Girl's so cold like a block of ice; snow falls in paradise.
There'll be no forgiving, the dead just won't be living soon.
(I gotta let ya go!)
And now the truth starts sinking in, it appears that i've lost my everything.
Should'a known it was too good all along.
(I gotta let ya go!)
Now i'm stuck in space, and drifting through your orbit;
And can't replace what keeps me moving forward.
You let me in, the love we found was something more.
You were my everything.
You let me in, I let you down, like none-before.
I ruined everything.
You let me in, then shut me out, i'm stuck alone.
You are my everything,
And now letting go takes getting used to.
What does the future bring, for us my everything?
We had these great plans, now it's me you can't stand.
Sometimes when i'm alone, I can't help pickin' up the phone.
Dialin' 927438240.
Then at the dial tone, get a big lump in my throat:
And then hang-up coz I know...
You let me in, the love we found was something more.
You were my everything.
You let me in, I let you down, like none-before.
I ruined everything.
You let me in, then shut me out, i'm stuck alone.
You are my everything,
And now letting go's too hard. (Yeah)
(Now i'm giving up)
And now letting go takes getting used to.
