The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
While you're killing time, time is killing me
Another tomorrow turns to a week
Three simple words, now bittersweet
You don't get what you you want, you get what you need
Been through the desert, and I've overcome
But I don't have the answer to this one
How do you let go of the one you love
When your heart doesn't know how to give up?
As hard as it is, I know it's best for us
I still hurt like a little girl, but all grown up
How do you take the first step and not look back
Cut the strings to the world attached
Wash it down when it's all you know?
How do you take the first breath before you jump off
Give it all when it's not enough
How do you let go of the one you love?
Scared of waking up alone
Scared to find out you've moved on
Is it the fear that makes me feel so numb?
Oh, I haven't been myself for so long
Been through the desert, and I still hold on
But I don't have the answer to this one
How do you let go of the one you love
When your heart doesn't know how to give up?
As hard as it is, I know it's best for us
I still hurt like a little girl, but all grown up
How do you take the first step and not look back
Cut the strings to the world attached
Wash it down when it's all you know?
How do you take the first breath before you jump off
Give it all when it's not enough
How do you let go of the one you love?
[?] say it's over?
(This is goin' nowhere)
Made up my mind, and write it down
(Gotta do it now)
Finally found the courage to be stronger
(Finally getting out)
Then I hear your voice, I stop and turn around
Yeah, turn around, yeah
How do you let go of the one you love
When your heart doesn't know how to give up?
As hard as it is, I know it's best for us
I still hurt like a little girl, but all grown up
How do you take the first step and not look back
Cut the strings to the world attached
Wash it down when it's all you know?
How do you take the first breath before you jump off
Give it all when it's not enough
How do you let go of the one you love?
(How do you let go of the one you love?)
(How do you let go of the one you love?)
(How do you let go of the one you love?)
How do you let go of the one you love?
