String is about a love that’s slowly dying out and as much as she wants to hold on to what was once there she knows that she must let go and move on.
[Verse One]
I say I love you
But I don't think I mean it anymore
Been trying to hold on to
All the good things that we had before
[Hook]
But I just don't see
The future with you that I used to
I've got to cut the string
That we're still hanging on to
[Chorus]
Ooh, I can't keep hanging on to you
I've got to let you go, let you go
I can't keep hanging on to you
I've got to let you go, let you go
Ooh, ooh, ooh, let you go, let you go
Ooh, ooh, ooh, let you go, let you go
[Verse Two]
It's just not fair
To stay in this just because I'm scared
Of what life might be like alone
With nobody there
[Hook]
But I just don't see
The future with you that I used to
I've got to cut the string
That we're still hanging on to
[Chorus]
Ooh, I can't keep hanging on to you
I've got to let you go, let you go
I can't keep hanging on to you
I've got to let you go, let you go
Ooh, ooh, ooh, let you go, let you go
Ooh, ooh, ooh, let you go, let you go
Let you go, let you go
