lyrics

Another dose of distant grief
Another crisis on TV
Another shot of shame that comes
With every sigh of relief

This one has nothing to do with me
And I have so much to grieve

Another someone's darkest day
Another flag across my face
And a reminder, the fear I’ve known
Will never go away

This one has nothing to do with me
And I have so much to grieve

Oh love, now don’t you sweat it
Some people get hurt
And that's the way it goes
Cause it takes what it takes
When you want what you want
But you've won

So just let it go
Dear, that's what regret is
When you know that the price is
Too much to pay, but you pay it anyway
Then hope that the devil
Won’t settle the ledger today

Is it safer to be strangers
Have we been wrong all this time
Is there still somewhere we could run to
And live out the rest of it blind

And this one has nothing to do with me
And I have so much to grieve

Oh love, now don’t you sweat it
Some people get hurt
And that's the way it goes
Cause it takes what it takes
When you want what you want
But you've won

So just let it go
Dear, that's what regret is
When you know that the price is
Too much to pay, but you pay it anyway
Then hope that the devil
Won’t settle the ledger today

You were small
You were strange

With a voice that shakes
From the truth of the words
That we always seem to forget

Made us proud and tall
For a moment at least
As you spoke what our hearts had said

Love flows like water
Over rocks and stones in
the bed

Lose the bits
That we needed the least
And we find new ways to mend

And the brave have no regrets
And the brave have no regrets
And the brave have no regrets
So be brave
