Sometimes if you love it you let it die

Let it burn

If it's not alive

Can't feel the hurt

So let it die

Let it burn

If it's not alive

Can't feel the hurt

Walk into the glass room

Grasping at life

Waiting for Susan to come through

And make it right

Comes walkin' 'round the corner,

Blinked at what she saw

Terracotta in my arms

Said he's already gone

Cut him open, face the sign

Decay you can't defy

Try to do everything right

It kills to say goodbye

I don't know what it is

This affliction of mine

You bet I wanted to cry

But sometimes you let it die

'Cause if you really loved it

You wouldn't have to save it

If it's already burning

There ain't no use praying

Drop it from a great height

Get out your knife

Hang it out to dry

You gotta let it die

Broken pieces on the floor

I think this love has hit its ceiling

I don't want this anymore

I'm begging for a mercy killing

Broken pieces on the floor

I think this love has hit its ceiling

I don't love you anymore

I'm begging for a mercy killing

The truth is, I love him more than I say

But I'm gonna let him walk away

Walk away

'Cause if you really loved it

You wouldn't have to save it

If it's already burning

There ain't no use praying

Drop it from a great height

Get out your knife

Hang it out to dry

You gotta let it die

'Cause if you really loved it

You wouldn't have to save it

If it's already burning

There ain't no use praying

Drop it from a great height

Get out your knife

Hang it out to dry

You gotta let it die
