Yes, I understand that I’m to set you free, yes, I understand you love her more than me

I understand she won your heart and stole your love, drew us apart, I understand

And so I’ll let you go

I tried my best to do the things I thought would please you, dear

I never dreamed the time would come when you would not be here

Yes, I understand what I’m supposed to do, find me someone else to take the place of you

And if I live a hundred years, I’ll find some way to hide these tears, I understand

And so I’ll let you go

Chorus: I tried my best to do the things I thought would please you, dear

I never dreamed the time would come when you would not be here

Yes, I understand what I’m supposed to do, find me someone else to take the place of you

And if I live a hundred years, I’ll find some way to hide these tears, I understand

And so I’ll let you go
