What It Takes

Oh... yeah


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


So baby what's the story 
Did'cha a 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 
A 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... oooh
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... oooh
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 
Oooh... I don't I don't no I don't wanna burn in paradise
let it go let it go
I don't wanna burn
