art of letting you go

we were just little kids

we were ambiguous

my crush was serious

it's crazy how

as we were growing up

i could just hit you up

but it just wasn't love

i guess the stars

never aligned for us

life just snuck up on us

you got a girlfriend and stuff

feelings are bottled up

hide 'em in this song

take the key and lock it up

but when i see you again

no

i can't even pretend

it's always you i go back to; i know it's danger

it's always you my heart runs to

but i'm a stranger

baby

what happened? what am i to do?

wanna move on

but i'm scared of losing you

i can't seem to master the art of letting you go

no

i can't seem to master the art of letting you go

try not to dwell on it

but sometimes i can't help it

so i paint pictures with it

even when i was always on the road

i was always doing shows

and my life was never slow

don't you know

your love stayed in the back of my head?

and a house full of memories is where i lived

right when i came home

oh no

there i go

saw you again and i can't even pretend

it's always you i go back to; i know it's danger

it's always you my heart runs to

but i'm a stranger

baby

what happened? what am i to do?

wanna move on

but i'm scared of losing you

i can't seem to master the art of letting you go

no

i can't seem to master the art of letting you go

not letting you go

it's just the art of letting you go

all of me

i give you everything

if you could only see how much you mean to me

i know you'll always be the one that stays with me

haunting me

and maybe i'll never know just how to let you go

it's always you i go back to; i know it's danger

it's always you my heart runs to

but i'm a stranger

baby

what happened? what am i to do?

wanna move on

but i'm scared of losing you

i can't seem to master the art of letting you go

no

i can't seem to master the art of letting you go

i'm wishing that i could be happy with you

with you

with you

with you
