I know that I have got to let you go
Because I feel like I'm Ted Hughes and you're Sylvia, and I'm dragging you down
Because I put on love songs, and you put on break-up songs
And if I kiss someone new, will you just say "don't worry."
Maybe you're just letting me go like a mother letting their baby fall asleep
You know like when you understand that you've got to do something you do not want to do
Like I know that I have got to let you go
This means I'll have to sell off all my clothes
And find me some new friends that you don't know
Forget about the things that you had said
And stop eating food the way it was prepared
This means I'll take some photos off my wall
That is all, that is all, that is all
But how can I really say how I feel when I've sworn not to say that I love you in song?
I need to find a better way of saying that we've been through whole wardrobe changes together
Or maybe I'll say our skin cells died and over five years we grew back as new people
But I've sworn not to say that I love you in song
