Let It Die

Let it die and get out of my mind We don't see eye to eye Or hear ear to ear Don't you wish that we could forget that kiss? And see this for what it is That we're not in love The saddest part of a broken heart Isn't the ending so much as the start It was hard to tell just how I felt To not recognize myself I started to fade away, away, away And after all it won't take long to fall in love Now I know what I don't want I learned that with you The saddest part of a broken heart Isn't the ending so much as the start The tragedy starts from the very first spark Losing your mind for the sake of your heart The saddest part of a broken heart Isn't the ending so much as the start
