[Verse 1]
I never jumped in and rescued you
But I wanted to
I didn't tell you which way to go
'Cause I thought you'd know
You had a problem with your newfound wealth
You brought it on yourself
I never told you, "I told you so"
But I told you so
[Pre-Chorus]
Have to let it go
It's time to let it go
[Chorus]
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
[Verse 2]
I never told you I agreed with you
I don't think I do
I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing meant
But I'm glad you went
I never thought that it could be painless
But it is, I guess
I had myself fooled into needing you
Did I fool you too?
[Pre-Chorus]
Have to let it go
It's time to let it go
[Chorus]
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
[Bridge]
A viral infection that can incubate for years
Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears
No medication to procure, makes me pure
There's no cure, I am sure
[Verse 3]
I never mentioned how I've prayed for you
And now I've paid for you
I never said that I would wait for you
It's too late for you
[Pre-Chorus]
It's time to let it go
[Chorus]
Now I can't believe
It took so long to leave
Perhaps one day I'll grieve
Or I never will
[Outro]
Or I never will
I never will
Oh, why-y, lie
Oh, why-y, lie
I never will
(Never will, never will)
(Never will)
