What It Takes

Oh, yeah

There goes my old girlfriend
There's another diamond ring
And of all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing

So baby what's the story
Did ya find another man
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made
When you don't look back
I guess the feelings start to fade away

I used to feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night, without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go, yeah

Girl before I met you
I was F.I.N.E. fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doin' time

You spent me up like money
N' then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep
With the devil in your eyes

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night, without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice
Tell me what it takes to let you go, guitar

Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own
Yeah yeah yeah
Tell me that it's better when you're all alone
Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch
Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much
Tell me you ain't dying when you're cryin' for me

Tell me what it takes to let you go, ooh
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go, yeah
And tell me how it is that you can sleep
In the night, without thinkin' you lost
Everything that was good in your life
To the toss of the dice

Tell me who's to blame for thinkin' twice
No no no no
'Cause I don't wanna burn in paradise, ooh
