  1. Your love locks away my very self,

  2. I can't find a piece of sky where I can breathe free,

  3. Being so indulgent to you traps me in a cage,

  4. I won't lament like this, losing myself to love's decay,

  5. I don’t want to hear you say so much anymore,

  6. That eternal promise is just a boring chore,

  7. Perhaps love that's deep only grows heavier still,

  8. Let us drop our burdens and chase our own thrill,

  9. Let go of me, let go of your hand, help me escape this haze,

  10. Don't think all women wish to be dreams that wait in a daze.

  11. Let go of you, let go of me, all is seen through.

  12. But when the heart grows cold, it won't turn back.

  13. (music)

  14. Your love feels like a lock, trapping my true self.

  15. I can't find a space where I can breathe free air.

  16. Being too indulgent with you has put me in a cage.

  17. I refuse to wallow in self-pity, wasting away for love.

  18. I don't want to hear you say too much anymore.

  19. That endless promise is just a dull echo of boredom.

  20. Perhaps the deeper the love, the heavier the burden.

  21. Why not let go of our burdens and each pursue our own dreams?

  22. Let go of my hand, let go of yours, so I can escape from this confusion.

  23. Don't think that all women are willing to wait in a dream.

  24. Let go of you, let go of me, everything I have already seen through.

  25. Once the heart grows cold, there's no turning back.

  26. (music)

  27. Let go of my hand, let go of yours, so I can escape from this confusion.

  28. Don't think that all women are willing to wait in a dream.

  29. Let go of you, let go of me, everything I have already seen through.

  30. Once the heart grows cold, there's no turning back.
