When I was eighteen, nobody loved me
Nobody ever asked for my time
No champagne moments, no love to fly to
No heat to warm family time
I hit the forest and I found a castle
And i met the others who were empty like me
A hand that touched me
Her words so freely
All thoughts of home were taking their leave
Oh, oh how did I learn to let you go
Oh, oh how did I learn to let you go
We’d spend our seconds dreaming of oceans
And I’d bathe those sea urchins every night
I heard them whisper about our secrets
And I knew they’d judge every action of mine
Oh, oh how did I learn to let you go
Oh, oh how did I learn to let you go
And if you die it wouldn’t change where I am
See I never lie, just found a home with these hands
I hear you weeping, my cousin’s grave
And I read your letters every night
I hear you calling but I hate listening
I’m never coming back to the light
Oh, oh how did I learn to let you go
Oh, oh how did I learn to let you go
Oh, oh how did I learn to let you go
Oh, oh how did I learn to let you go
