Let It Die

You were the ‘I’ in isolation, you put the ‘U’ in your own universe

Now you’re the ‘X’ in expectation and I’m the ‘Y’ in ‘why did I stay?’

You’re in your lonely world and I’ve flown away

I forget your little words they’ve all blown away

 

You said you love me but your love is meaningless

You said you want me, all you want is someone you can possess

You know it’s over but you’re hanging on, clinging to me

You say give love a try but I say let it die

I don’t know why when I say let it die

It’s killing me, it’s killing me

 

(You said you loved me, you said you wanted me)  

 

I laid you down my pearls of wisdom

I gave you diamonds when you told me to

But I stole your kisses, do you miss them?    

And I’ll save my tears for some other day

You’re in your lonely world and I’ve flown away

I forget your little words they’ve all blown away

 

You said you love me but your love is meaningless

You said you want me, all you want is someone you can possess

You know it’s over but you’re hanging on, clinging to me

You say give love a try but I say let it die

I don’t know why when I say let it die

It’s killing me, it’s killing me

 

Oh, nothing lasts forever, any fool will tell ya

This was just not meant to be

So I say let it die

I don’t know why when I say let it die

It’s killing me, it’s killing me

 

You said you loved me, you said you wanted me

You said you loved me, you said you wanted me
