Piece By Piece
Melua Katie Lyrics

First of all must go
I must start by removing your smell from my pillow.

Your scent upon my pillow
I must get rid of any reminders of you, starting with your scent.

And then I'll say goodbye
After removing any physical reminders of you, I need to emotionally say goodbye.

To your whispers in my dreams
I need to stop letting your memory haunt me in my subconscious.

And then our lips will part
I need to mentally let go of any physical intimacy we shared.

In my mind and in my heart
I need to release you from my thoughts and feelings.

'Cause your kiss
Your physical affection created a deep emotional attachment.

Went deeper than my skin
Your influence went beyond the physical realm of touch.

Piece by piece
I must let go of you slowly, taking it one step at a time.

Is how I'll let go of you
I need to break free from my attachment to you gradually.

Kiss by kiss
I will start to remove the memory of your physical intimacy one moment at a time.

Will leave my mind one at a time
As I let go of each moment we shared, I can release you from my thoughts one by one.

First of all must fly
I need to get rid of any fantasies about our future together.

My dreams of you and I
I must distance myself from the desire to be with you.

There's no point in holding on to those
It's pointless to cling to the idea of our future together.

And then our ties will break
I must end all emotional connections with you.

For your and my own sake
It's important to break our ties for our own emotional health.

Just remember
You need to understand that you contributed to the end of our relationship.

This is what you chose
It's important to remember that the choices you made led to the end of our relationship.

I'll shed like skin
I will let go of our past memories one by one, like shedding old skin.

Our memories of lazy days
I need to let go of the happy times we spent together in the past.

And fade away the shadow of your face
I need to erase the image of your face from my mind.

Ooh

Piece by piece
I will continue to let go of you slowly.

Is how I'll let go of you
I won't rush the process of letting go of our relationship.

Kiss by kiss
I will continue to remove the memory of our physical intimacy one moment at a time.

Will leave my mind one at a time
As I continue to let go of our past, I will eventually be able to remove you from my thoughts entirely.

One at a time
I will slowly but surely release my attachment to you until I'm free from the past.

One at a time
I'll take it step by step until I've moved on completely from our relationship.
