I come from right
you go to left and I
feel like you've built a wall
and I'm outside
I try to talk, but you don't hear what I say
there's too much room between us
when I try to fly and get up real high
your silence pulls me down

and why don't you just let go
why not turn out the light
why don't you close the door completely
if we're already too far gone
why keep me hangin' on to you
all you gotta do
is let go

look where we are
see what we have become
you've got to know I'm hurting
more and more
just say the words
cause the longer time stands still
makes it hard for you to leave
and for me to live
try to fly up real high
your silence pulls me down

and why don't you just let go
why not turn out the light
why don't you close the door completely
if we're already too far gone
why leave me hangin' on to you
all you gotta do
is let go

just let go
if we're already too far gone
why leave me hangin' on to you
all you gotta do
is let go
let go of me
let go
let go
let go
let go...
