I wrote a hundred songs for you
But I never sang one
And now that everything is done
I'm gonna sing you just this one

I was afraid I wasn't telling the truth
So I kept them to myself
And now that it's all over
I wish I'd sang every one

Now you're gone I have to sing this song
For the clothes you left behind
I'll be waiting by the dance floor
Until the day that you come

But until that day comes
I know that you have to be free
I'll give you space I'll give you oceans
But leave those green eyes just for me

The saddest thing is that I had no choice
But to say goodbye and cut the rope
And like the fairytale stories go
If you love something let it go

And like the fairytale stories go
If you love something let it go
And like the fairytale stories go
If you love something let it go
