Let It Go

This teenage ideal
Doesn't fade
It suddenly creeps up on me
It leads my eyes astray

But maybe
Madness
Is living with the sadness
Of loving someone half as much
Because you couldn't wait

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa let it go
Let the years take their toll
Make a patch for the hole
And there's no chance you'll find yourself alone

If everybody's all set to compromise
I guess I'll do the same
But if I can't dream of drowning in my lover's eyes
I might go insane
I might go insane

This hazy daydream
Comes and goes
It rattles me with fantasy
And leaves me all alone

But maybe
Madness
Is passing up the chance of
Loving someone half as much
As you could have loved a ghost

Whoa let it go
Leave the loneliness alone
Find a wife
Make a home
Or you might just find you're on your own

If everybody's all set to compromise
I guess I'll do the same
But if I can't dream of drowning in my lover's eyes
I might go insane
I might go insane

Maybe
Madness
Is living with the sadness
Maybe
Madness
Is passing up the chance to love

This teenage ideal
Is growing old
To this day I still await
A face to fit the mould

Whoa let it go
Let the years take their toll
Make a patch for the hole
And there's no chance you'll find yourself alone

I might go insane
I might go insane
I might go insane
I might go insane

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
