It was just a few years in the making now
The two were locked in a heated dispute
'Cause he was gone when she needed him more
Then she could really ever let on toThey were the poster perfect high school sweethearts
But moving out can't erase the time
The two had spent on working it out
And everybody knew that they were out of their mindsOh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go, you know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it goConsider this, he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown
The girl had given up the love of her lifeAnd all the time that she was givin' up slowly
He didn't notice when she ran away
And when it came to finally letting him on
Well this is every single word she'd sayOh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go, you know you really need settle down
No you really need to let it goFor good, forget his lies
It's the only way to save your life
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away, ohYou just say you left me like you could
Oh, oh you said you never would
Just say it's done and be goneYou just say you left me like you could
Oh, oh, you said you never would
Just say it's done and be gone
Just say it's done and be goneLet it go, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go, you know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it goFor good, forget his lies
It's the only way to save your life
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown awayYou know you really need to settle down
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go
