There's a freedom in goodbye There's a peace in saying: Love and let die Let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go I've reached the end of every line Knuckles white from desperate clinging to hope But it's time to let it go, let it go Let it go, let it go And I fought, and I begged, and I tried to be strong And I kicked, and I screamed, and I tried to hold on And it hurt me more Now I let it go, let it go, let it go They say that hope's the last to leave But it can steal your heart and mind like a beautiful thief Now I know, now I know To let it go, let it go And I fought, and I begged, and I tried to be strong And I kicked, and I screamed, and I tried to hold on And it hurt me more Now I let it go, let it go If I hang on to this dream, there's no way I can heal So I'll stand, and I'll scream, take my hands off the wheel The thought I can't control Now I let it go, let it go Thought hope alone would turn the tide And now I'm drowning in the lie Like a weight tied to a rope I let it go, let it go I let it go, let it go And I fought, and I begged, and I tried to be strong And I kicked, and I screamed, and I tried to hold on And it hurt me more Now I let it go, let it go If I hang on to this dream, there's no way I can heal So I'll stand, and I'll scream, take my hands off the wheel That's all I can control Now I let it go, let it go I, I let it go, let it go, let it go
