Hey you, yeah you, is it true
Were your best days in school
When you had no responsibility?

It's time to step up
Time to step up at bat
Yet, you fear that you lack the ability

I'm slowing down my words for you
These past few songs I've spoke far too loosely
Slowing down my mouth for you
I promise this time to deliver smoothly

Don't you worry
I'm sure they'll love you

Stop, why won't you let it go?
It hurts to see you so
Assuming that you know

Stop, why won't you let it go?
You've been giving us false hope
Assuming that you know
So stop assuming that I don't, stop

Hey you, yeah you, so it's true
Were your best days in school
When you had no accountability?

As you climb to the top
You can see there's a drop
And you fear that you lack the resiliency

Don't you worry
I'm sure they'll love you
Don't get scared now
Show some spine

Stop, why won't you let it go?
It hurts to see you so
Assuming that you know

Wouldn't you just stop?
Why won't you let it go?
You've been giving us false hope
Assuming that you know
So stop assuming that I don't, stop

So I let it go, let it all dissolve around me
This picture perfect world we painted
So I let it go, let it all dissolve around me
This picture perfect world we painted

Stop, why won't you let it go?
It hurts to see you so
Assuming that you know

Stop, why won't you let it go?
You've been giving us false hope
Assuming that you know

Stop, won't you just stop?
Won't you ever stop?
Why can't you stop?
So stop assuming that I don't, stop
