[Verse 1] Third time is a charm she wears A reminder of a broken heart This gem with a burden bears That he was careless and he went too far It took a long time To build the walls high And it's a lonely place to hide But at night there's a whispered prayer As her hope burns bright [Chorus] Dear Adelaide No need to be afraid Don't let the shiny things take you both away Dear Adelaide You know you're not too late You need the light you bring Don't you fade away [Verse 2] Keepsake keeps you holding on Are you ever gonna break the chain? Let go Let the rising dawn Melt the misery of yesterday Crying eyes dry And you'll be alright You'll find a lovely place to shine Right there with a glowing heart You're a spark set fire [Chorus] Dear Adelaide No need to be afraid Don't let the shiny things take you both away Dear Adelaide You know you're not too late You need the light you bring Don't you fade away [Bridge] Let go And say goodbye [Chorus] Dear Adelaide No need to be afraid Don't let the shiny things take you both away Dear Adelaide You know you're not too late You need the light you bring Don't you fade away
