	"If you love her, let her go: if she comes back, she's yours; if not, it was never meant to be." She came back, but I didn't know that she would when I wrote this song.

	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song so I could justify letting go of a girl who kept leaving and coming back. It was becoming pretty hard on both of us: she wouldn't make up her mind; and I couldn't stay; so I decided to let her go. She told me, in the first place, that I would be wise to do so, sparing myself the agony of being hurt by her later. This song was written over two days -- the chord progression in January, and the song in April -- and recorded with my Shure C690 and Audacity v0.99 for MacOS in my dorm room. Lyrics I know you're there. I know you're sleeping. I know you're numb; that's all I need. I know your every move. I know your feelings. I know you're tired. You know I'm scared, but you're calling me like nothing's even wrong, and you're asking me to sing a song that I don't know. But you knew that, just like I knew that. You're out on the town. You need to get out of the tight pants and the halter top that you're wearing. You know I'm all alone. You know I'm writing, starting to doubt that you're what you seem. Then you call me, saying everything's all right -- but the truth is, you don't have to be alone tonight. But you knew that, just like I knew that. This is your lullaby -- goodbye, goodnight -- so why aren't you going? This is your lullaby -- goodbye, goodnight -- gotta wish you well. You're making me nervous and you're making me mad. You're making me wonder about things I never had. When you call, you know I'm hanging on a line; when you ask me how I feel, you know I'll say I'm fine. You know that -- how did you know that? This is your lullaby -- goodbye, goodnight -- I'd better be going. This is your lullaby -- goodbye, goodnight -- I gotta wish you well. This is your lullaby -- goodbye, goodnight -- so why aren't you going? This is your lullaby -- goodbye, goodnight -- gotta wish you well.
