What It Takes

There goes my old girlfriend there goes 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 feeling's 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.

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't sleep,
In the night without thinking you lost,
Everything that was good,
In your life to the toss of the past,
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 my heart's been doing time,
Spend me up like money then you hung me out to dry,
It was easy to keep all your lies in the sky,
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't sleep,
In the night without thinking you lost,
Everything that was good,
In your life to the toss of the past,
Tell me what it takes to let you go.

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 loving didn't mean that much,
Tell me who you laying with when you play out there.

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't sleep,
In the night without thinking you lost,
Everything that was good,
In your life to the toss of the past,
Tell me who's to pay for thinking twice,
Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise.

I don't wanna be the one who burns in Paradise.

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 wanna burn,              
Let it go,                                                           I don't wanna burn,
No, no, no.

Let it go,
Let it go,                                                           No I don't wanna burn,
Let it go,
Let it go,                                                           No 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,
Let it go,
Let it go.

Let it go,
Let it go,
Let it go,
Let it go.
