What It Takes

There goes my old girlfriend

Well there's another diamond ring

And 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 fadeaway

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

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how the pain's supposed to go

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 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 doin' time

Spent me up like money

Well 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

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how the pain's supposed to go

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 what it takes to let you goooo, guitar!

Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own

Tell me that it's better when you're all alone

Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch

Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much

Tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how the pain's supposed to go

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 wanna burn in paradise

(let it go let it go let it go let it go let it go let it go ... )
