the love we had was so nice
I feel so terribly sorry
and now I'm paying the price
I'm just so terribly sorry
why does it hurt me so bad
I only learn when I'm burning
and now it's making me sad
'cause I know you're not returning so

chorus:
why don't you go
why don't you go
if you have to live your life
I'll let you go
I'll let you go
if you have to live your lilfe

look how far we have come
it all seems so unnecessary
before the pain there was fun
and there was nothing to worry
some things are hard to understand
but the reasons for your departure
with no destination no plan
but I know if you stayed it be harder
all right now

chorus

dogs bark louder
trees grow stronger
when there's peace at mind ... oh
the ocean waters will be calmer now
just look how far we have
I feel so terribly sorry
and I put it down on a song
so I can erase the memories
everybody now

chorus (2x)

the ocean waters will be calmer now
