Lyrics: What It Takes

There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And, uh, all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
So baby, what's the story?
Did you find another man?
It is easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
When you don't look back I guess
The feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was good
In your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Girl before I met you
I was F.I.N.E. fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doin’ time
You spent me up like money
And then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was good
In your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own
Tell me that's it better when you're all alone
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my lovin didn't mean that much
Tell me you ain't dyin when you're cryin for me

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was good
In your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinkin you lost everything that was good
In your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me who's to blame for thinkin twice
No no no no
Cause I don't want to burn in paradise
Let it go, let it go, let it go...
