[Verse 1]
Don't tell me I'm too harsh for you
Don't tell me that you never see me cry
Goodbye
I wept when we said goodbye
Don't tell me that I'm mean to you
Don't ask me how I can be so cruel
Stop playing the fool
You know it hurts me too
[Chorus]
What are we
If not one another
Lover and lover
You pulled me under
Don't tell me
I want to let you go
What are we
If not one another
Lover and lover
You pulled me under
Don't tell me
I want to let you go
[Verse 2]
I told you that we lost our way
I told you that our slumber had to end
Too broken to bend
Said we could still be friends
I told you that the fabric frayed
I told you that our souls are not conjoined
It's swiftly destroyed
I can't even replace this joy
[Chorus]
What are we
If not one another
Lover and lover
You pulled me under
Don't tell me
I want to let you go
What are we
If not one another
Lover and lover
You pulled me under
Don't tell me
I want to let you go
[Outro]
Don’t want to let you go
Don’t want to let you go, go
Don’t want to let you go, go
Don’t want to let you go
Don’t want to let you go, go
