I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn then feel nothing at all

Oh, I used to treat you sweetly I would pull you to my chest 
As you cried about the ocean slipping quickly through your hands
You were searching for one grain of sand along an endless beach
As I was building you a castle that you just refused to see

What do I say? What do I do?
To show you all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you
What do I say? What do I do?

I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn then feel nothing at all

You have faded my reality like leaves that turn to dust
Fell asleep inside a fantasy and woke up feeling lost
Now I'm terrified and restless but I just cannot escape
I wish you had words to cool this fever that is killing me

What do I say? What do I do?
To show you all the ways my heart is slowly shattering for you
What do I say? What do I do?

I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go 
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn then feel nothing at all

I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go 
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't 
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn then feel nothing at all

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn then feel nothing at all

Yeah, I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn then feel nothing at all

I don't wanna hold you if you wanna go
And I'm not gonna make you feel love if you don't
I would rather learn what it feels like to burn then feel nothing at all
