A Modern Way of Letting Go

If I know, what I know, then no one will watch over you

So someone shouldn't really tell me what I want to know

I know, I owe, and I know that matters don't matter as much

As you think they do

'Cause you will only be yourself, you can never be yourself

And you will only be yourself when you understand what you know, oh

How long will we go on with a modern way of letting go?

Tell me how long will we go on with the modern way of letting you go?

If I know, what I know, losing isn't learning to be lost

It's learning to know when you're lost

If I know, what I know

I'll want to make the most of what it seems like

You will only be yourself, you can never be yourself

And you will only be yourself when you understand what you know, oh

How long will we go on with a modern way of letting go?

Tell me how long will we go on with the modern way of letting you go?
