I just wanna life that seems
A little better than a dream
But I just can’t seem
To get on my feet
So I gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
I'll hope someday that you will know!

I sit back and think
About the life I've had
So much to change
But I can't go back
What happened to that kid?
He used to play in the street
I think about that kid
He looked just like me
Had a smile, had a home
Never grow old
When we grow up
Do we have to grow cold?
Spent his whole life
Looking for salvation
Never realized
Nobody could save him
So all these words
For what they’re worth
I know it’s hard
I know it hurts
And we laugh at the past
'Cause it’s how we learn
Welcome to the world
Now let’s watch it burn

I just wanna life that seems
A little better than a dream
But I just can't seem
To get on my feet
So I gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
I'll hope someday that you will know!
You gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
I hope someday you'll understand!

Sometimes it’s hidden
Wish that I could see
A future picture of an older me
Would he be smiling
And would he be happy?
Would he say a thousands words
While looking right at me?
Is he different
Or the same old me?
Is he still chasing
After these same old dreams?
I know that
I’ll never reach perfection
At least he could point me
In the right direction
Some grow old and some grow cold
They’d sell their souls
For a heart of gold
God only knows
Where the hell would I be
If I had the old me
Sitting beside me

I just wanna life that seems
A little better than a dream
But I just can't seem
To get on my feet
So I gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
I'll hope someday that you will know!
You gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
Gotta let go!
I hope someday you'll understand!

No one knows what it’s like to be alone
Please tell me is anyone out there?
No one knows what it’s like to be alone
Please tell me is anyone out there?

I just want a life that seems
A little better than a dream
