Do you understand this, 'cause I don't
People either leave you
Or they fail you
That's all
There may be a different truth to be told
But I can't let go
Of my old place
I can't let go
Of my old face
Of my old things
I can't let go
Can you comprehend how I could feel
That I was never worthy of good things or love
You know it disappoints me
That I see everything
Through all of these layers of colorless film
There might be a rainbow
A spectrum in my periphery
There must be a nicer
thought to believe
But it's hard to let go
Of my old place
I can't let go
Of my old face
Of my old things
I can't let go
There's a very old mirror
That I like to look into
It always shows me the old familiar face
I loathe so well and
When I look back it looks back too oh
Oh you'll never know how hard it is to let go
Do you understand this 'cause I don't
The very thing that saved me will kill me
That's all
And everyone will shake their heads and say
"How sad"
That I couldn't let go
Of my old place
I couldn't let go
Of my old face
Of my old things
I can't let go
I couldn't let go
Of my old place
Can't let go
Of my old face
Of my old things
I can't let go
I can't let go
Can't let go
