If and When and Gone

How many more hearts will you break
Before you just go settle down
And how many breaks will it take
'Fore you go put a stake in the ground
How long will you lie to yourself
About how you feel so alone?
How long til you sink in my arms
And stop skipping around like a stone

Or if you go
I hope you find some rest
And all your dreams
Spill out into your hands

Or maybe you should let them go
I don't want a hero
I just want your love

How many transplantings can that
Young weathered heart survive?
Will you ever just stop to rest
Leave the world to do its own crying?
I don't think you can.
I don't think you can.

So when you go
I hope you find some rest
And that your dreams
Don't choke you in the end

Well maybe you should let them go
I don't need no hero
I don't want your love

You're somewhere out there past that old sunset
Staying up late, writing your friends
Everywhere you go you're more thin,
you're more stretched
Everywhere you go the more I know
You won't come back

So now you're gone
I hope that we'll be friends
And that your dreams
Will maybe help you rest
Well maybe I should let you
I don't need a hero
I'll hang up the phone
Maybe I should let you go
I don't need your love
I'm ok on my own.
