It was just a few years in the making now.
The two were locked in a heated dispute,
'Cause he was gone when she needed him more.
Then she could really ever let on to.

They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts,
But moving out can't erase the time.
The two had spent on working it out and
Everybody knew that they were out of their minds.

Oh, you know you really need to settle down,
Let it go.
You know you really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.

Consider this, he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown.
The girl had given up the love of her life.
And all the time that she was givin' up slowly
he didn't notice when she ran away
and when it came to finally letting him on
well this is every single word she'd say...

Oh, you know you really need to settle down,
Let it go.
You know you really need to settle down,
No you really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies -
It's the only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

Just say you left me like you could.
(Although you said you never would.)
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say you left me like you could.
(Although you said you never would.)
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say it's done, and be gone.

Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down,
And let it go!
You know you really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies,
It's the only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

You know you really need to settle down
You know you really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.
