There goes my old girlfriend,
there's another diamond ring.
And, uh, all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing.
So, baby, what's the story?
Did you find another man?
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
When you don't look back
I guess the feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah
Chorus:
Tell me what it takes to let you go.
Tell me how's the pain supposed to go.
Tell me how it is that you can sleep,
in the night
Without thinking you lost ev'rything
that was good in your
life to the toss of the dice?,
Tell me what it takes to let you go.
Girl, before I met you
I was F.I.N.E, fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doing time
You spent me up like money
Then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes
chorus
Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own.
Yeah, tell me that is better when you're all alone.
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch.
Tell me that my loving didn't mean that much.
Tell me you ain't dying when you're crying for me.
Chorus:
Tell me what it takes to let you go (Ooh)
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go (Oh yeah)
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
Good in your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me who's to blame for thinking twice
No, no, no, no, 'cause I don't want to burn in paradise
Ooo
Let go, let go, let go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
I don't want to burn, I don't want to burn
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Yeah
