Words & Music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson



I never jumped in and rescued you,

but I wanted to

I didn't tell you which way to go,

'cause I thought you'd know

You had a problem with your new found

wealth, you brought it on yourself

I never told you I told you so, but I told you so



Have to let it go

it's time to let it go

Now I can't believe

It took so long to leave

Perhaps one day I'll grieve

Or I never will



I never told you I agreed with you

I don't think I do

I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing

meant, but I'm glad you went

I never thought that it could be painless,

but it is I guess

I had myself fooled into needing you,

did I fool you too?



Have to let it go

it's time to let it go

Now I can't believe

It took so long to leave

Perhaps one day I'll grieve

Or I never will



A viral infection that can incubate for years

Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears

No medication to procure

Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure



I never mentioned how I've prayed for you,

and now I've paid for you

I never said that I would wait for you,

it's too late for you



Have to let it go

it's time to let it go

Now I can't believe

It took so long to leave

Perhaps one day I'll grieve

Or I never will
