[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you will only be yourself
When you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
If I know, what I know
Losing isn’t learning to be lost
It’s learning to know when you’re lost
If I know, what I know
I’ll want to make the most of what it seems like
[Pre-Chorus]
You will only be yourself
When you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know

[Chorus]
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?!
