It’s easier to love he said
As he held her in his arms
But I’ve been a bad, bad man
I’ve done some people a lot of harm
And I can see the devil
He’s walking like a king
Holding you I know that
He hasn’t won a thing

The clock ticked, a beating heart
As he held on a little tighter
As if his skin could melt with his
And they could stay that way forever
Leaning back to see him
Her eyes were bright and clear
He thought, “This must be my angel
to fly me out of here”

Say goodbye and just let go
Say goodbye and just let go
You’re a wanted man
You played the devil’s hand
Now say goodbye and let her go

Rock-a-bye don’t listen to her cry
She’ll be fine, she won’t remember you
Tap the glass, exit onto the line
Move the air, fill up the empty space

His heart like an anchor thrown
Slowly sinking to his knees
So heavy this weight of love
That he could hardly breathe

The room seemed like a snow globe
Some wondrous place he’d been
She was in the center
Soon he’d be outside looking in

Say goodbye and just let go
Say goodbye and just let go
You’re a wanted man
You played the devil’s hand
Now say goodbye and let her go
