And I said "Nothing’s changed I love you the same but when you love someone   sometimes you gotta let ’em go" Bridge Riff #1*3 Riff #2 2 bars of verse 2 She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart She said "I’m gonna take this home for I know you’ll only lose it somewhere after dark In some faceless hotel room where you seem to lose everything you own" She didn’t mean it how it sounded what she meant was she would stay and I would go I said "Love you know I love you so. When you love someone well you’ve got to let them know She said "Nothing’s changed I love you the same but when you love someone   sometimes you gotta let them go" Refrain Riff#1 *3 Sometimes you tear it all apart to see the wood from the trees. Sometimes you break your own            e|----------------------------------------------| B|----1-------1------1--------(1)-----1---------| G|-------------------------0----------------0---| D|----2-------0------2-------2--------2---------| A|3-------2------0-------0--------0-------0-----| E|--------------------------------------------0-|   heart                   e|----------------------------------| B|-----1---------1------1---------1-| G|-----------0----------------0-----|     return to Riff #1 D|-----3-------3--------0-------0---| A|----------------------------------| E|-1-------1--------3-------3-------|              to set yourself free verse 3 (quietly - single plucking / strums) I walked her to the station hesitation in our movements and our tone Words finally left after they realized how uncomfortable they’d become See what you want and what you need well they seldomly succeed to grow We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone you’ve got to let them go

La chanson évoque des sentiments de séparation et de perte dans une relation amoureuse. Elle parle de moments de rire et de peine partagés, mettant en lumière la difficulté d'accepter qu'il faut parfois laisser partir ceux que l'on aime, même si cela fait mal. On y voit une réflexion sur le fait que, malgré l'amour, il est parfois nécessaire de prendre des chemins différents. Le contexte est celui d'un départ imminent, où les protagonistes ressentent un mélange d'émotions. Les souvenirs et les promesses s'entremêlent à des réalités déchirantes. L'idée de tenir à un objet symbolique, comme un petit cœur en pierre, souligne l'intensité de leurs sentiments et la fragilité de leurs liens.
