Do you understand this, 'cause I don't People either leave you Or they fail you That's all There may be a different truth to be told But I can't let go Of my old place I can't let go Of my old face Of my old things I can't let go Can you comprehend how I could feel That I was never worthy of good things or love You know it disappoints me That I see everything Through all of these layers of colorless film There might be a rainbow A spectrum in my periphery There must be a nicer thought to believe But it's hard to let go Of my old place I can't let go Of my old face Of my old things I can't let go There's a very old mirror That I like to look into It always shows me the old familiar face I loathe so well and When I look back it looks back too oh Oh you'll never know how hard it is to let go Do you understand this 'cause I don't The very thing that saved me will kill me That's all And everyone will shake their heads and say "How sad" That I couldn't let go Of my old place I couldn't let go Of my old face Of my old things I can't let go I couldn't let go Of my old place Can't let go Of my old face Of my old things I can't let go I can't let go Can't let go
