A Thousand Matches歌词

[00:13.260]Lying on themattress 'cause my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
[00:21.090]Sleeping, she looked like an actress, a theory I didn't practice, I said "There's got to be a better way"
[00:28.580]She said: "You light a thousand matches when you finally set fire when you run away
[00:36.760]So why'd you go and do it when you knew that you would go and I would stay"
[00:44.190]I hit the wall in frustration, the conversation had been circling for days
[00:51.730]She said: "Don't take it out on him, for the wall has always been supportive in the best of ways"
[01:00.030]We're laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow
[01:07.290]For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go
[01:15.280]And I said "I love you know I love you so, when you love someone well you've got to let them know."
[01:22.570]She said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go."
[01:45.230]She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
[01:52.070]She said "I'm gonna take this home for I know you'll only lose it somewhere after dark
[02:00.110]'Cause some faces so terribly seem to lose everything you own."
[02:07.950]She didn't mean it how it sounded, what she meant was she would stay and I would go
[02:15.840]And I said "I love you know I love you so, when you love someone well you've got to let them know"
[02:23.740]She said "Nothing's changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go"
[02:35.280]Sometimes you tear it all apart, to see the wood from the trees
[02:43.120]Sometimes you break your own heart to set yourself free
[03:04.560]I walked her to the station, hesitation in our movements and our tongue
[03:13.210]Words finally left after realizing how uncomfortable they've grown
[03:21.250]What you want and what you need, well they seldomly succeed to grow
[03:31.060]We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone, you've got to let them go
