You need to wash the world of me
You need to learn just what I know
You need to hear me, faithfully
You need to, simply, let me go.

You have to move on with your life
You have to face each jump and scare
You have to smile through the pain
You have to live without me there

You want to wallow in your hate
You want to embrace all that's wrong
You want to keep me close at hand
You want to love our sad, sad song

You love to dream of times gone by
You love to forget how it seems
You love to hold my hand so tight
You love to tell me all your dreams

You need to find your inner strength
You need to empty, need to cry
You need to look inside your heart
And there, you need to let me die
