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
Stoled 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

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
