I'd really like to know
How it came to this
Hanging on the phone so you could pull me under
Is there something I should know?
Is there something that I missed?
Is there something you could tell me that will help recover?
I'd really like to know
Why you had to let it go

I wonder where you'll go
I wonder where you'll live
And how you tell yourself that you can do without it
'cause I should let you know
I gave all I could give
And now I have to tell myself to forget about it
I'd really like to know
Why you had to let it go
Someday

Yeah, when the world has let you down
I'll be the one you think about
When there's no one else around
Someday
Hey, when you're old and grey
I'll be the one you'll always say
That you could not replace
Someday

So now you're on your own
And I am writing this
But you don't want to know and I can't help but wonder
If I should let it go
But I just can't resist
The way you rock and roll and I can still remember
I'd really like to know
Why you had to let it go
Someday

Yeah, when the world has let you down
I'll be the one you think about
When there's no one else around
Someday
Hey, when you're old and grey
I'll be the one you'll always say
The one that got away
Someday
