Ella Taylor - The Art Of Letting Go

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
