Idlewild Lyrics
"A Modern Way of Letting Go"

If I know what I know
Then no one will watch over you
So someone shouldn't really tell me
What I want to know
I know, I owe
And I know that matters don't matter as much
As you think they do

'Cause you will only be yourself
When you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know

How long will we go on
With the modern way of letting go?
Tell me how long will we go on
With the modern way of letting you go

If I know what I know
Losing isn't learning to be lost
It's learning to know when you're lost
And I know what I know
I want to make the most of what it seems like

You will only be yourself
When you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know

How long will we go on
With the modern way of letting go?
Tell me how long will we go on
With the modern way of letting you go
