lyrics

If you want to take everything that I ever had away
It wouldn’t matter
It’s been done before

Never cared what they had to say
You know I wasn’t born yesterday

I don’t believe everything I read cuz’ I’ve been lied to
Don’t know who to trust
But intuition’s telling me
To run

I wouldn’t leave everyone I love without a reason
I think I’ve got some
I’m not like all my friends but oftentimes I find myself
Giving in

Sometimes love is letting go of everything and everyone you’ve ever known
Sometimes love is letting go
Of the ego

If you want to take everything that I ever had away
It wouldn’t matter
You can have it
Generosity travels light

Sometimes love is letting go of everything and everyone you’ve ever known
Sometimes love is letting go
Of the ego

If you want to take everything that I ever had away
It’s okay
It’s all ephemeral
Anyway

Sometimes love is letting go of everything and everyone you’ve ever known
Sometimes love is letting go
Of the ego

If you want to take everything that I ever had away
It wouldn’t matter
It’s been done before

You know I wasn’t born yesterday
