go! from elsewhere by elle
This track is my inner adult telling myself to not advance a relationship with someone who very obviously flirted with me while (in the same conversation) telling that they were seeing someone. That there's no point filling my satiation for love with someone who's looking for a way out of their own assumedly collapsing relationship. I needed to do the right thing for myself and for the sake of their partner, and not pursue anything with them despite their interest in me.

Lyrics
(Do you think it’s ok?)
(Yea it’s fine)
I complimented your jacket, thought it looked good on you
You tell me it’s not yours, it’s someone’s who cares a lot about you
Now, we’re both talking and you look into my eyes
“You shouldn’t be looking into mine like that”
I thought and sighed
You’ll have to let him go
He’s already got a partner
Can only give half his heart, no
There’s no point in chasing
When there’s reality to be facing
I know you didn’t know it
But his eyes definitely showed it
There’s no point in replacing
What you should be facing
You’ll have to let him
You’ll have to let him
You’ll have to let him go, go, go
You’ll have to let him
You’ll have to let him
You’ll have to let him go
Now I’m feelin’ all guilty ‘bout something I didn’t do
I never would have flirted with you if I knew you were part of a two
But then you kept going
And showed me some of your skin
“Shouldn’t someone else be looking at that?” I thought
I guess I felt pinned
You’ll have to let him go
He’s already got a partner
Can only give half his heart, no
There’s no point in chasing
When there’s reality to be facing
I know you didn’t know it
But his eyes definitely showed it
There’s no point in replacing
What you should be facing
You’ll have to let him
You’ll have to let him
You’ll have to let him go, go, go
You’ll have to let him
You’ll have to let him
You’ll have to let him go
Teak wood stains
Dulled my pain for a moment or two
Distracted me from the thought of someone
I thought wanted me too
Now it’s all over and the poison is starting to settle in (Poison)
There’s no point in starting something with someone
Who’s relationship is caving in
Let him go!
Let him go!
Let him go!
Let him go!
Let him go!
Let him go!
Let him go!
Let him go!
Let him go!
You’ll have to let him go!
You’ll have to let him go!
You’ll have to let him go, go, go
You’ll have to let him go!
You’ll have to let him go! (That’s right!)
You’ll have to let him go!
Did you let him go?
