Let them Go

When all that is left

is feeling hurt

When it's the only song

you have ever learned

when it's the only tune

you have ever heard

 

Can you let it go?

 

Someone once said to me

Let it go, let them free

but they come back,

can't you see?

 

Should I let them go?

 

When I let them go

They still follow me

I tried to free them

but can't you see?

 

They came back to me

 

and I can't let them go

 

Oh no,

*Oh no!

 

I won't let them go

 

Oh no

 

I won't

 

Let them go, let them go

 

Oh no...

 

When I'm the only light

they have ever known

The only place

they ever called home

When I'm the one

they miss the most

 

*I won't let them go
