No use remembering what’s turned to smoke
Kill off the memories all in one stroke
Give up the remedies won’t stand a chance
Breathe in the melody of this little dance
One two three, one two three, whispering low
One two three, one two three, waltzing alone
Nothing will hurt me again
‘Cause I can close myself up cnap like a fan
I’ll be untouchable keep the suspense
So unapproachable behind my fence
I’ll be a mystery rolled like a scroll
Re-write my history repair my soul
One two three, one two three who cares what’s next?
One two three, one two three tucked in my nest
Nothing will hurt me again
‘Cause I can close myself up snap like a fan
Running downstairs
Holding my breath
Floating on air
Flowing white dress
So unsuspecting
The sun in my eyes
Never expecting
To crash into ice
One two three
Mean little trap
Snap
One two three, one two three, a lifetime ago
One two three, one two three, time to let go
Nothing can hurt me again
‘Cause I can close myself up snap like a fan
One two three, one two three, blanking my face
One two three, one two three, leaving no trace
Nothing will hurt me again
‘Cause I can close myself up snap like a fan.
