Lyrics
A Modern Way Of Letting Go
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I know, what I know, then no one will watch over you
So someone shouldn't really tell me what I want to know
I know, I owe, and I know that matters don't matter as much
As you think they do
'Cause you will only be yourself
But you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know
How long, (will we) go on with a modern way of letting go
Tell me how long (will we) go on with the modern way of letting you go?
If I know, I know, losing isn't learning to be lost
It's learning to know when you're lost
I know, I know
I wanna make the most of what it seems like
You will only be yourself
But You can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know
How long, (will we) go on with a modern way of letting you go,
Tell me how long (will we) go on with the modern way of letting you gooooo?
