The stars were shining
In the sky but you can see
The outlines of the trees
Over the mountains
From the view next to the street

And I walked the long way
To your house to see
If we could speak

Then I saw that
No light came through
The cracks of your window

And I let go
Of something I never had
But I just don't wanna be alone

And i try to think back
To days when I could breathe sincerity
And I didn't feel so useless

And I hoped that you might
Feel that way bout me
But now I can see
That i don't mean a thing at all

How could you let me go
And not even know the difference?

And polaroids
A birthday card's from you
That I made myself
But made sure to make 'em clever

I cut you out of my old yearbook
Placed you next to me
We look so happy
We'd look great

I wish you could see
How perfect we could be
I carved your name into my wall
And I always think of cool things to say to you
But my head always says no
Let go
Let go

And don't be alarmed by the boy in the back
Of the class, try not to stare but I swear I just can't
I'm just a hopeless kid with a hopeless crush
And I know there's some things that I can't take back but (x2)

I have an obsession
I thought I'd let you know
And I try to think back
To days when I could breathe sincerity

And I didn't feel so useless
And I hoped that you might feel that way bout me
Now i can see, that I don't mean a thing at all

How could you let me go
And not even know the difference?
