[Verse 1: Stevie Nicks]
I don't know why it should be so hard
Giving up this circle dance
Worn out steps from long ago
Don't give love a chance
It's a bitter heirloom handed down
These twisted parts we play
I'm not hurt, and you're not here
Just turned out that way

[Chorus: Both]
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could

[Verse 2: Vanessa Carlton]
I'll be home soon, that's what you'd say
And a little kid believes
After a while, I learned that love
Must be a thing that leaves
I tried so hard just to hold you near
Was as good as I could be
And even when I had you here
You stayed so far from me
[Chorus: Both]
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could

[Bridge: Stevie Nicks]
Now that this has occurred to me
Well, I wanted you to know
I've been too faithfull all my life
It's time to let you go

[Chorus: Both]
Can't go back to make things right
Though I wish I understood
Time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could
And it's time to let you go
It's time to let you go
