Well I've got this story
Not too long ago
September brought love songs
November came and you let me go
When I asked for reasons
You blamed circumstance
The timing was wrong like the Dire Straits song
And this is how it ends
Told me you kissed another man
Well here's your independence
You said we're no angels, now heaven's on fire
We're burning down the only home I've ever known
A love this courageous takes patience, so fight
Everybody knows it's all about control so just let go
Just let go
So I introduced you to him
How could I have known that you'd take it upon yourself?
In a New York apartment with your two lips parted
To kiss him back when you knew how I felt
Does he know that place just behind
The spot where your neck flirts with your jawline?
Can he feel it in the palm of his hand
Pinning back fields of strawberry strands?
You said we're no angels, now heaven's on fire
We're burning down the only home I've ever known
A love this courageous takes patience, so fight
Everybody knows it's all about control so just let go
Just let go
Half-tucked inside the sleeves
Of a sweatshirt you stole from me
Were shaking hands and longing arms
But now I sing
To an angel without wings
With no courage, no courage in her love
You said we're no angels, now heaven's on fire
We're burning down the only home I've ever known
A love this courageous takes patience, so fight
Everybody knows it's all about control so just let go
Just let go
