Verse 1
You let her go, and you let her slide
Away
From you, like a fish from a line
And you stood there so calm and so cool
And let her go
Verse 2
Don't you notice the shape of your body?
Don't you notice the colour of your skin?
Don't you notice you left me behind you
And I can't be who you want me to be
Chorus
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Verse 3
You told me not to worry, not to cry
That you would never leave my side
But now I'm sitting here alone, crying
I cry for you, I cry for me, and I cry for us
Verse 4
And so I wait for you to come home to me
And so I wait for you to come back to me
But I know you won't, so I'll sing to you
Through these words, I'll sing to you
Chorus
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Verse 5
You let her go, and you let her slide
Away
From you, like a fish from a line
And you stood there so calm and so cool
And let her go
Chorus
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead
