[Verse 1]
I've been thinking to myself
What if I'd been someone else
A thousand words which I never said
Thought I could change but I never did
Should have kept this to myself

[Chorus]
So what can I say to you?
What can I do to let you go? (What can I do to let you go?)
You know I'm no good for you
So why'd you let me get so close
Then leave me with your ghost

[Verse 2]
Your flaws ignored, my faults eclipsed
You breathed my soul in through your lips
I had it all but you wanted more
You said we'd last, had me so assured
So why'd we have to end like this?

[Chorus]
So what can I say to you?
What can I do to let you go? (What can I do to let you go?)
You know I'm no good for you
So why'd you let me get so close
Then leave me with your ghost
[Bridge]
You turned away
Before I knew you felt this way
And I can't help but wonder if I could have made you stay
And I won't pretend that you're not in my head again
'Cause I can't drown you out
No, I can't drown you out

[Chorus]
So what can I say to you?
What can I do to let you go? (What can I do to let you go?)
You know I'm no good for you
So why'd you let me get so close
Then leave me with your ghost

[Outro]
I've been lying to myself
Know you found somebody else
It's been a while, said I'm moving on
It still hurts that you're not alone
At least I know you're doing well
