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
