A Modern Way Of Letting Go Lyrics - Singles - Idlewild

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, you can never be yourself 

And you will only be yourself when you understand what you know, oh 

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 

If I know, what I know 

I'll want to make the most of what it seems like 

You will only be yourself, you can never be yourself 

And you will only be yourself when you understand what you know, oh 

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?
