Your name is stuck in my head
I don't mind it, it's a good reminder to get out of it
I love you too much to ask you
Do you believe when people say
When you love someone, you should let them go?
'Cause you know when I love someone
I hold on for dear life
And you saw my fingerprints in your arm every night
So I know you're aware how I feel
'Bout that stupid lie
But I know your beliefs are far off
From the ones you know are mine
I miss the way you drink water
Hold it in your mouth a second before it goes down
(Hmm)
I didn't even realize it
But I started to do it too
Now I'm constantly reminded of you
Hold me near like it's not true
'Cause you know when I love someone
I hold on for dear life
And you saw my fingerprints in your arm every night
So I know you're aware how I feel
When you hold me tight
But I know that you did it even though
It'd make me think you're mine
(Oh, oh)
I know you loved me so you set me free to fly
And I know you did it 'cause the guilt ate you alive
And I know we both got what we needed at the time
But you should have let me realize
That choice was not yours, it's mine
You made me learn to fly
I spread my wings and cried
I looked back, saw you waving from the cage
Why did you lie?
Then you smiled and I knew
It's what we had to do
I hope you still have traces of my fingerprints on you
