Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me that you're never gonna miss somebody like you missed me
Tell me that you're never gonna hurt somebody like you hurt me
I was chasing new horizons
Wide open spaces got me crying
[Chorus]
I know I let you go and I told you to let it be
I know I cut the rope, but I don't want you to go free
[Verse 2]
Promise that you're never gonna wake up in an ordinary bed
Swear you're never gonna tell a soul about the shit that I said
The LA sky never changes
But in my mind, there's no escaping
[Chorus]
I know I let you go and I told you to let it be
I know I cut the rope, but I don't want you to go free
[Bridge]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday night
No reply, why, oh, why?
[Chorus]
I know I let you go and I told you to let it be
I know I cut the rope, but I don't want you to go free
I know I let you go and I told you to let it be
I know I cut the rope, but I don't want you to go free
[Outro]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday night
