Just Let It Go

I thought it was all I ever wanted,

The feeling was unforgettable but now it’s gone,

You used to be the only one, not now—

We have both come so far.

I used to dream of looking in your eyes,

Find the perfect moment and bring it home,

But I traded dreams for reality—

Hope traded in for a piece of sanity.

I’m still haunted by my past

And now I’m wondering if she’ll last.

Just let it go.

Come with me, we’ll leave it all,

Hold my hand and whisper in my ear

Help me see what I really need.

Stand right here next to me,

Smile and let’s run away—

Show me who I want to be.

By night I forget what I’ve been told

I walk where wrong starts to feel like right,

I search for salvation but find none here.

She lingers around each corner I turn,

No matter where I go she’s here next to me—

It’s unforgettable, how far we’ve come,

I once thought that you were the one,

But I’ll walk the streets forever alone

With the peace I’ve made in my endeavors.

By night I try to tell myself to

Just let it go

Come with me, we’ll leave it all,

Hold my hand and whisper in my ear

Help me see what I really need.

Stand right here next to me,

Smile and let’s run away—

Show me who I want to be.

The world around us never sleeps,

I didn’t think I would ever be enough.

My thoughts drift so far away,

I never thought I would be standing here

Completely sure what I really want.

Freedom eats away at me, I see it—

True peace lingers in her eyes

And I’m ready to try to fight for it—

I’m ready to die if I must—

I’m ready to remind myself to

Just let it go.

Just let it go.

Come with me, we’ll leave it all,

Hold my hand and whisper in my ear

Help me see what I really need.

Stand right here next to me,

Smile and let’s run away—

Show me who I want to be.

Just let it go.

Show me who I want to be.

Just let it go.

Just let it go.
