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 a 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'll want to make the most of what it seems like
You will only be yourself
And you can never be yourself
And you will only be yourself
When you understand what you know

How long, will we go on
With a modern way of letting you go, tell me
How long will we go on
With the modern way of letting you go?
