Wish you'd understand
Why I let you go
Had to untwist our fingers
One by one, by one, by one
It felt so stuck like glue
Couldn't get through to you
It was all in my brain, all I had to do was say
One by one, by one
I had to, I had to, I had to let you go
I had, I had to let, I had to let you go
I had, I had to let, I had to let you go
I had, I had to let, I had to let you go
Had to let you go
Had to let you go
Had to let you go
One by one, by one
One by one, by one
I set it all on fire
And now your palms burn
Didn't want to hurt your skin
But I had to cut the cord within, within, within
Flame, water, smoke, pain
Hurt, loss, scars stain
The flames go out
One by one, by one, by one
I had to, I had to, I had to let you go
I had, I had to let, I had to let you go
I had, I had to let, I had to let you go
I had, I had to let, I had to let you go
Had to let you go
Had to let you go
Had to let you go
One by one, by one
One by one, by one
One by one, by one
