What It Takes [A Little South of Sanity] lyrics

[Verse 1]
There goes my old girlfriend, there's another diamond ring
And all those late night promises? I guess they don’t mean a thing
So baby, what's the story? Did you find another man
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made
When you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away
I used to feel your fire, but now it’s cold inside
And you're back on the street like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

[Chorus]
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
Good in your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Girl, before I met you I was F.I.N.E, fine
But your love made me a prisoner, yeah, my heart's been doing time
You spent me up like money, then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes

[Chorus]
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
Good in your life to the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go of the good times
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me that it’s better when you’re all alone
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my loving didn’t mean that much
Tell me you aren't dying when you're crying for me

[Chorus]
Tell me what it takes to let you go (Ooh)
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go (Oh yeah)
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
Good in your life to the toss of the dice

[Outro]
Tell me who’s to blame for thinking twice
No, no, no, no, 'cause I don't want to burn in paradise
Ooo
Let go, let go, let go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
I don't want to burn, I don't want to burn
