Like a fist-full of the finest sand
Love was hard to hold
But it felt so grand
As it slipped through both of our hands
Now we're left with this goodbye
The agreement was if we wanted out
It's an even split and we had no doubt
That if we crossed the T's
And dotted all the I's
There would be no need to cry

And in theory it was fine
All the good times underlined
This one yours, that one mine
It was supposed to be so easy
Now I know our deal is done
But as my first act as the one you leave alone
I have to let you know

That I just can't go like that
I just can't go like that
And I wont let go like that
If I have to let go

As I recall we made a deal
The less we say the less we feel
And the less we hurt
The quicker we heal
It added up so easily then
But we would swear to anything
That choked the song of sorrow
And we'd sing "Hurry up tomorrow"
Like it was whiskey for the pain

And theory it was fine
All the goodtimes underlined
This one yours and that one mine
It was supposed to be so easy
I promised all my corners
Would be neatly tucked and folded
But I never said that my heart
Would never show

Because I just can't go like that
I just can't go like that
I won't let go like that
If I have to let go

And in theory it was fine
All the good times underlined
This one yours and that one mine
It was supposed to be so easy
Maybe you're just hiding
Then again, you always did have
So much more
Control

But I just can't go like that
I just can't go like that
And I won't let go like that
If I have to let go
