A Thousand Matches
[00:14.99] Lying on a mattress cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
[00:21.74] Sleeping she looked like an actress in theory and in practice
[00:25.74] I said there's got to be a better way
[00:29.49] She said you light a thousand matches
[00:31.50] When you finally set fire will you run away?
[00:37.49] So why'd you go and do it
[00:39.50] When you knew that you would go and I would stay?
[00:44.99] I hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days
[00:52.49] She said don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been
[00:56.99] Supportive in the best of ways
[01:00.74] We're laughing and crying like madmen dying in the snow
[01:08.24] For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go
[01:16.00] And I said love, you know, I love you so
[01:19.75] When you love someone well you've gotta let 'em know
[01:23.49] She said "Nothing's changed, I love you the same
[01:27.74] When you love someone, sometimes you gotta let 'em go"
[01:46.24] She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
[01:53.49] She said I'm gonna take this home
[01:55.99] For I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
[02:01.24] In some faceless hotel room
[02:03.99] You seem to lose everything you know
[02:09.24] She didn't mean it how it sounded
[02:10.99] What she meant was she would stay and I would go
[02:17.00] And I said love, you know, I love you so
[02:20.49] When you love someone well you've gotta let 'em know
[02:24.50] She said "Nothing's changed
[02:26.49] I love you the same
[02:28.74] When you love someone
[02:29.99] Sometimes you gotta let 'em go"
[02:36.25] Sometimes you tear it all apart
[02:40.00] To see the wood from the trees
[02:43.49] Sometimes you break your own heart
[02:48.74] To set yourself free
[03:05.49] I walked her to the station
[03:06.99] Hesitation in our movements and our tone
[03:13.99] Words finally left after realizing
[03:16.74] How uncomfortable they'd grown
[03:21.99] See, what you want and what you need, well
[03:25.50] They seldomly succeed to grow
[03:32.00] We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone
[03:36.74] You gotta let them go
