«And if you love someone, you should set them free» —
That's what the stories say to do…
«If they come back again, then you're meant to be;
If they don't, you know you're through»
But there's no getting over you
Walk around all day with you in my dreams,
Hoping someday you'll come back
It's been six months, you know, since I let you go
I guess, it seems I'm not the man
Though I've done all that I can
If you love someone, you know, the way I do,
Hold them tight and don't let go
To set them free, you know — to be a fool
You will never understand
Why you let it slip right through your hands
