It was just a few years in the making now
The two were locked in a heated dispute
Cause he was gone when she needed him more
Then she could really ever let on to
They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts
But moving out can erase the time
The two had spent it on working it out and
Everybody knew that they were out of their minds
Oh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go
Consider this, he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown
The girl had given up the love of her life
And all the time that she was givin' up slowly
He didn't notice when she ran away
And when it came to finally letting him on
Well this is every single word she'd say...
Oh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go
For good, forget his lies -
The only way to save your life
Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away
Just say you left me like you could
Although you said you never would
Just say it's done, and be gone
Just say you left me like you could
Although you said you never would
Just say it's done, and be gone
Just say it's done, and be gone
Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down
Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go
For good, forget his lies
The only way to save your life
Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away
You know you really need to settle down
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go
