The things we want and the things we need
Can be two different things
Instead of the same
When we hold on to what's dear to us
When it don't belong to us
Who is to blame?
And when we think we get a little closer
We'll just be pushing away
And when we force it
It's when it ends up breaking
You know things just work that way

(Sometimes) sometimes things just won't change
Until we can learn to give
To give it away
Just let it go

Sometimes things just won't move
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Until we can prove that we
Can let it alone
Just let it go

If we compromise who we are
What makes us think we'd get that far
Rolling that way (yeah)
Then finally we'll wake up and we'd realise
Everyone that we despise
We used to embrace
Just when we think we, get a little stronger
That's when we're weakest of all
We think we're holding onto something special
That very thing makes us fall

(Sometimes) sometimes things just won't change
Sometimes, sometimes
Until we can learn to give (oh, yeah)
To give it away
Just let it go

Sometimes things just won't move
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Until we can prove that we
Can let it alone
Just let it go, oh yeah
Just let it go

Sometimes things just won't change
Sometimes, sometimes
Until we can learn to give (we can learn)
To give it away (away now)
Just let it go

Sometimes things just won't move
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Until we can prove that we (we can prove)
Can let it alone
Just let it go

Sometimes things just won't change
(Things won't change)
Until we can learn to give (until we can learn)
To give it away (away now)
Just let it go

Sometimes things just won't move
Sometimes, sometimes
Until we can prove that we (oh, yeah)
Can let it alone
Just let go

Sometimes things just won't change
Sometimes, sometimes
Until we can learn to give
Sometimes, sometimes
To give it away (away)
Just let it go (go away, go away now)

Sometimes things just won't move
(Cause there won't move)
Until we can prove that we
Can let it alone (let it alone)
Just let go

Sometimes things just won't change
(Things won't change)
Until we can learn to give (until we learn)
To give it away (away)
Just let it go

Sometimes things just won't move
Until we can prove that we
