Hard to Let You Go

[Verse 1]
You crash into my quiet life
Like a match into a room of fumes
Laughing while the ceiling shakes
Feet on the table
Bed full of shoes
I said
"This is stupid fast"
You said
"Shut up
Lean in closer"
We burned through an entire year
Inside a single October
[Chorus]
Why’s it so easy to fall in love
But so hard to let you go?
You are my one and only
The only one who holds my heart
You know
I can tear your picture off my wall
But I still can’t let you go
You are my one and only
The only one who holds my heart (too close)
[Verse 2]
Your jacket still hangs by the door
Smells like rain and cigarette smoke
Your coffee cup
That stupid chip
Lipstick stain that never spoke
Friends say
"Man
Just cut that string"
Like it’s simple as a broken chord
But every time I try to leave
I’m right back screaming your name hoarse
[Chorus]
Why’s it so easy to fall in love
But so hard to let you go?
You are my one and only
The only one who holds my heart
You know
I can drown your mem’ry in this bar
But I still can’t let you go
You are my one and only
The only one who holds my heart (I know)
[Bridge]
I can smash my phone
Change my address
Tell all our friends
You’re just a past tense
But every time
The night gets loud
I reach for you
In an empty crowd (hey!)
[Chorus]
Why’s it so easy to fall in love
But so hard to let you go?
You are my one and only
The only one who holds my heart
You know
I can set this stubborn heart on fire
But it still won’t let you go
You are my one and only
The only one who holds my heart (too close)
The only one who holds my heart (let go)
