Don't let the loneliness stop you
from being kind.
Don't let them say that your peace is a
waste of time.
Don't let them crush all your dreams, then
change their mind

This room was built for one chair only.
I'm not empty, I'm just lonely,
tied to the ghost of you.
I can be gentle too.
Just one look and I'm less reclusive.
Slurring words, we speak in cursive.
It's just a passing phase,
I whisper as you fade.

Oh-ooh... letting me go isn't the only answer.
Oh-ooh... letting me go makes the world spin faster.
"No one like me" doesn't mean you won't like me.
Oh-ooh... I'll let you go,
it's a pattern on repeat.

Don't let utopia haunt you,
there's more to save.
Don't stop the search for the perfect,
you're smart and brave.
Don't let them sail off in anger,
just smile and wave.

The ship takes off, now I'm the captain.
Gentle breeze, I'll make it happen.
I'm gonna lock the doors,
no one allowed on board.
I won't choose, I'm not ungrateful;
making peace to quell the hateful.
Look at the mess you made.
I whisper as you fade.

Oh-ooh... letting me go isn't the only answer.
Oh-ooh... letting me go makes the world spin faster.
"No one like me" doesn't mean you won't like me.
Oh-ooh... I'll let you go,
it's a pattern on repeat.
