The Art Of Letting Go Lyrics

I tie every string, every rope I find

Connecting my life with yours, every thread

I bind and intertwine

Our lives together until our hearts are tied

I write out every line, a thousand pages

A story to last a lifetime

On the back of old receipts and theatre seats

Anything that I can find

I can't turn back the hands of time

Never tie those ties un-write every line

I can't go back to the day we met

And keep myself from your tightening grip

I can't change what has passed

But I won't finish last

Starting with the threads I cut you away

Digging into my skin as they snap and break

And we're both hurting but it's me who takes it

It's me whose fingers bleed and burn

All we made cutting into me

Connections tied so tightly

Cause we never thought we'd have to break them

But you broke me one too many times

Enough is enough, call it a night

A final punch you can throw

But this is the art of letting go

I burn down the libraries where I kept the words I wrote

About us, choking on the smoke

The flames are burning but I don't trust you

When you say you're sorry

When you tell me we'll write a new story

You watch from a distance And you're hating that you've lost your grip

But you're never one to let yourself get burned

I can't turn back the hands of time

Never tie those ties un-write every line

I can't go back to the day we met

And keep myself from your tightening grip

I can't change what has passed

But I won't finish last

Starting with the threads I cut you away

Digging into my skin as they snap and break

And we're both hurting but it's me who takes it

It's me whose fingers bleed and burn

All we made cutting into me

Connections tied so tightly

Cause we never thought we'd have to break them

But you broke me one too many times

Enough is enough, call it a night

A final punch you can throw

But this is the art of letting go

Those years, I don't regret as such

But I'm never turning back again

Those years you really fucked me up but

In the end I took a stand

Try as they might to set me alight

While all that you did is still in my mind

You're nothing to me now I've burned you to the ground

Cut you away

Not taking one more day

Of your dishonest disillusion

And as I watched you walk away

I didn't follow for one second

Though I was bleeding and I was burned

My lesson was learned

Cause you broke me one too many times

Enough is enough, call it a night

A final punch you can throw

But this is the art of letting go
