Ooh, ooh
We were sittin' happy on that picket fence we built
Time was movin' forwards, but the world was standin' still
I said it was perfect, but it was too good to be true
I don't remember a time before my life was me and you

How do you let go
Of all that you ever known?

If I have to live a life with words unspoken
To fall, but never in your arms again
I'll close my eyes to keep yours wide open
Just so you could find yourself again

The fire burns so slow, it'll kill me, you know
It's hard letting go
The fire burns so slow, it'll kill me, you know
Tryna let you go
Tryna let you go

You could see the best in me when I told you that I tried
Oh, yeah, you know it's bad when you
Take it back 'cause everything's a lie
And now look where it's got me, I lost everything I had
And I still don't know what's going on
but I'm doing what I can
How do you let go
Of all that you've ever known?

If I have to live a life with words unspoken
To fall, but never in your arms again
I'll close my eyes to keep yours wide open
Just so you could find yourself again

The fire burns so slow, it'll kill me, you know
It's hard letting go
The fire burns so slow, it'll kill me, you know
Tryna let you go
Tryna let you go
