What It Takes

There goes my old girlfriend

And there's another diamond ring

And then all those late night promises

I guess they don't mean a thing

So baby, what's the story?

Did you find another man?

Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?

When you don't look back

I guess the feeling starts 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's the pain 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 doing time

You spent me up like money

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's the pain 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, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell me that it's better when you're all alone, yeah, yeah

Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch

Tell me that my loving didn't mean much

Tell me you ain't dying when you're crying for me

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how's the pain supposed to go

And 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 who's to blame for thinking twice, no, no, no, no

'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise

Don't let go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Don't let go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

Don't let go, let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go

I don't wanna burn, I don't wanna burn

I don't wanna burn in paradise

Don't wanna burn in paradise

I don't wanna burn in paradise

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (don't let go, let it go, let it go, let it go)

(Don't let go, let it go, let it go)

Oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh (don't let go, let it go, let it go, let it go)

(Don't let go, let it go, let it go)

Oh-oh-oh, uh-uh, hmm (don't let go, let it go, let it go)

(Don't let go, let it go, let it go)
