La da da da dee
I take the sharpest shears
A ball of twine
Cut a string for everyone in my life
To my belt loops I tie each string so tight
And attempt to hold on
What did you think it's a spell for letting go
I cast a spell for letting go
Oh
At the end of each string
The souls of my loves I bring
To the bridge to the bridge
I might set them free
A symbol of all that's haunting me
Their names are la da da da dee
Their names la da da da dee
La da da da dee
In a desperate attempt
A will that I left
In a river from that heart of stone
As my fate approached
I felt a pull on those ropes
I looked up and saw those souls
Oh thank you la da da da dee
Thank you la da da da dee
La da da da dee
So easily I felt I freed myself
Cutting strings one at a time
Goodbye la da da da dee
Goodbye la da da da dee
La da da da dee
