[Verse 1]
When we broke up
I was not in a good place
Wore a ponytail for months
'Cause of that time you said you liked it
I try to find a reason
But boy, you were a swing state
You shut your eyes and toss a coin
And call that "I've decided"

[Verse 2]
Breakfast in the hotel
Sleepless in Seattle
Honest in your sweatshirt
Lying in your bedroom
Sure, I gave you my love
But only what you could handle
The rest I kept a secret
Knowing we'd be dead soon

[Chorus]
I have let go
Your body hitting the ground, it echoеd
Your heart's for the vultures now
I play thе Metro
I'm better and she says she said so
I do no longer want to turn around
It takes time and it takes distance
Turning love into indifference
It's brutal work, you have to sweat them out
But one day your hair is soft again
And you'll know you outlasted the drought
[Verse 3]
I couldn't talk
And then i couldn't shut up
Turning you into Goliath
When I never was a David
Falling for you, baby
I thought I'd hit a gold rush
But the closer you got to me
The more I depreciated

[Chorus]
I have let go
Your body hitting the ground, it echoed
Your heart's for the vultures now
I play the Metro
I'm better and she says she said so
I do no longer want to turn around
It takes time and it takes distance
Butterflies from someone different
With no idea where you are living now
And I say that with no interest
So I know I outlasted the drought

[Bridge]
Barefoot on the boatside
Screaming through the stadium
I am not thinking 'bout you
It's wild I ever did
Now you are just a phantom I left in California
And they might know your name there
But Sydney's never heard of it
[Chorus]
Now I've repent so
And I leave you in every falsetto
Your heart's for the vultures now
I play the Metro I stand up on that stage and let go
I do not look for you in this whole crowd
It takes time and it takes courage
To climb your own hair out the turret
And let the memories show themselves out
Then one day your hair is soft again
And you'll know you outlasted
Yeah, one day you are in love again
And you'll know you outlasted the drought
