What a waste of life this is, every altercation I permit is Like a quiet sigh From a man resigned to a place that was never his And the hours are long, even in a world where I belong Every second stays, every minute counts against my sentence I Fall…I had to let you go… What I tried to accomplish died – every offer of faith I had To fight and a dream unfolds The moon is cold because the sun left early And the days go by, even when my conscience just won’t try Every week decays, every month is rotten - I AM FORGOTTEN I fall… I had to let you go I fall…my mind is all I know I fall… the table turns to dust I fall… today, I let go of my trust What a waste of time I am, every ounce of life is Just dead flesh I can’t forget, but then again you can’t let me remember When I try to speak, every word I say comes out so bleak I don’t want this, I don’t want you But I DON’T WANT ANYONE I don’t want anyone… I fall… I had to let you go I fall…my mind is all I know I fall… the table turns to dust I fall… today, I let go of my trust I let go of my trust
I can′t understand it The search for an answer is met with a darker day And we′ve been handed these moments forever But i′m reassured there′s another way
You don′t have to close your eyes There is room for love again Ease the pain to realize all that love can be Forced apart by time and sand Take a step and take my hand And don′t let it go Never let go
Broken, once connected We were so strong and so blessed in a simple way So don′t let me go it alone
Turn your head up to the sky Nothing down below but me Face the truth to relize all that we could be Torn apart by rage and fear Hold on to what brought you here Don′t let it go Never let go
I can′t get it out of me It′s breathing in side of me It′s reaching in side of you You feeling infected You been infected It′s just like a cold A kiss on your lips Now you taking control I feel like a criminal I′m falling apart I′m leaving for Venice In a getaway car No one can save us It′s no need to try I′m looking for savers Holding us back
If you wanna try and save me And take my heart and take me
If you feel you can let go let it go... [x2]
I feel like a criminal I′m falling apart I′m leaving for Venice In a getaway car You say that you hold me But you don′t really no You ... ...
If you wanna try and save me And take my heart and take me If you feel you can let go let it go... [x2] Let go, let go, let go, let go...
If you wanna try and save me And take my heart and take me If you feel you can let go let it go...
I know its past tense Its been a minute since We were a couple And, walking and holding hands Kisses and I love yous Doing what lovers do Baby But baby that was then Cause now we don′t Talk no more You gotta a new man And, it shouldn′t bother me But girl its driving me, crazy And everybody says Boy why don′t you just leave it alone But I don′t think I can
[Chorus] I sit up all night Thinkin′ bout ya And know it ain′t right, baby But I don′t I don′t think, don′t think that I That I can let go (Don′t think I can let you know)
I′m holdin′ on to hope I know its a foolish thought Think that someday she might come back Wish on it all the time Knowin′ it may never happen But see I′m not a fool Cause no we don′t Talk no more You gotta new man But, I′m gonna keep it safe I′ve got the patience That some lack... But everybody says Boy why don′t you just leave it alone But I don′t think I can
[Chorus] I sit up all night Thinkin′ bout ya And know it ain′t right, baby But I don′t I don′t think, don′t think that I That I can let go (Don′t think I can let you know)
[Interlude] I don′t think I can let you go I can′t let you go No.... I don′t think that I can let you go Let go... And everybody says... And I don′t think I can...
[Chorus (With Ad-Libs)] I sit up all night Thinkin′ bout ya And know it ain′t right, baby But I don′t I don′t think, don′t think that I That I can let go (Don′t think I can let you know)
There you are Holding her hand I am lost Dying to understand Didn′t I Cherish you right Don′t you know You were my life
[Chorus:] Even though I try I can′t let go Something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see you in my dreams You′re all I know I can′t let go
Just cast aside You don′t even know I′m alive You just walk on by Don′t care to see me cry And here I am Still holding on I can′t accept My world is gone
[Chorus]
Do you even realize The sorrow I have inside Everyday of my life Do you know the way it feels When all you have just dies I try and try To deny that I need you But still you remain on my mind
[Chorus]
No I just can′t get you out of my mind I never can say goodbye ′Cause every night I see you in my dreams You′re all I know I can′t let you go Even though I try I can′t let go of something that I need so badly You′re all I know I can′t let go
I′m sitting on the edge of the water Contemplating my strange life The sun starts to fall into the ground A breeze picks up off the waves And everything is fine
I know that I am not alone Everyone makes mistakes and starts to learn with time I am content with who I am There′s nothing more I need to say I′m happy with my life
Let go of all of your pain Let go of all of your pain Let go and you′ll escape You′ll be happy with yourself Let go of all of your pain
[AJ:] I can see in your eyes Broken windows, fallen skies Baby, baby what you hidin′ from The light that followed you around Lately nowhere to be found Don′t you know that I′m your place to run
[Brian:] You been holding on so long Tryin′ to make believe that nothing′s wrong Not letting it show And there ain′t nothing you can do To make me turn away from you I need you to know
[Howie:] That you can let go
[AJ:] Sifting through shattered dreams Livin′ in the in between Baby, babe it′s gonna be alright (You can let go) When you′re lost, let down, disappointed And jerked around in this cold, cold world I will always be by your side
[Nick:] You been holding on so long Tryin′ to make believe that nothing′s wrong Not letting it show There ain′t nothin′ you can do To make me turn away from you I need you to know
[Howie:] That you can let go
[AJ:] Don′t be afraid when you′re falling apart Don′t hesitate I′ll be right where you are Open your eyes there′s a crack in the dark
[Brian:] Never let me see you cry You locked it somewhere deep inside Baby, baby let me hold you tight
[Howie:] Make it alright
[All:] Baby, baby gonna be alright Cause I′m by your side When the whole world turns against you (I won′t turn against you) Not letting it show Baby, babe gonna be alright Cause I′m by your side When the whole world turns against you You can let go
[Nick/All:] You been holding on so long Tryin′ to make believe that nothing′s wrong Not letting it show You can let go There ain′t nothing you can do To make me turn away from you I need you to know
I know that look in your eyes, I don′t wanna say goodnight. Do anything to change your mind, Try to make you see the light. You turn your back, And still I say anything to make you stay. Put up walls made of heartbreak, Try to hide your love away. I′m standin′ here, you′re givin′ me nothing. Try to feel your heart beat through the door...
Hold on, hold on, is what I′m doing. So strong, so strong, is what I′m feeling. It′s too much, too much. Oh, don′t let go. Don′t let go.
There′s somethin′ that you′re going through, Wish that I could fix for you. You don′t have to be alone, I don′t wanna let you go. I′m standin′ here, you′re givin′ me nothing. Try to hear your heart break through the door. Call it love, call it what you want to. It′s the only thing that matters anymore.
Hold on, hold on, is what I′m doing. So strong, so strong, is what I′m feeling. It′s too much, too much. Oh, don′t let go. Oh, don′t let go. Don′t let go.
Oooohhhhhh Some days are cold, But together, one day we′ll both Change the weather. And it gets better.
Oooohhhhhh......
Hold on, hold on, is what I′m doing So strong, so strong, is what I′m feeling. It′s too much, too much. Oh, don′t let go. Oh, don′t let go. Don′t let go.
The day′s been long I just got home And work is driving me crazy I could do up I could go out But I′m feelin too lazy I wanna run I wanna have fun But I don′t wanna work it All I wanna do is go and kick it with my crew tonight
[Chorus] All I wanna do is let go tonight I′m feelin right I just wanna forget about it All I wanna do is let go tonight Wind it up Without my get up All I wanna do is get down tonight Move around tonight Don′t really care about it All I wanna do is let go tonight I′m feeling free Tonight is just for me
I count on you You′re coming too Yeah I′m hopin you feel it Cuz at my best And at my worst Yeah you′ve already seen it Let down your hair The hell who cares Gonna let it all out All I wanna do is go and kick it with my crew tonight
[Chorus] All I wanna do is let go tonight I′m feelin right I just wanna forget about it All I wanna do is let go tonight Wind it up Without my getup All I wanna do is get down tonight Move around tonight Don′t really care about it All I wanna do is let go tonight I′m feeling free Tonight is just for me
High heels just feels Like a business stance Make it hard to dance Tight shirt, short skirt Just hurt, Too much work A fake up of make up Never handled the wet Cuz I wanna sweat All I wanna do is kick it with my crew tonight
All I wanna do is let go tonight I′m feelin right I just wanna forget about it All I wanna do is let go tonight Wind it up Without my getup All I wanna do is get down tonight Move around tonight Don′t really care about it All I wanna do is kick it with my crew tonight
[Chorus X2] All I wanna do is let go tonight I′m feelin right I just wanna forget about it All I wanna do is let go tonight Wind it up Without my getup All I wanna do is get down tonight Move around tonight Don′t really care about it All I wanna do is let go tonight I′m feeling free Tonight is just for me
Every shred of hope collides in your heart with the fear of losing what you′ve just given up As the moments pass you pray to survive All these lonely minutes that once kept you alive
Try to change the expression that′s worn out your face As you lose the momentum of your past living ways Every song is a channel for the memories to keep floating in your head as you′re left asking
Why did I choose to let it all go Was it the fear of needing or the doubts I let show I never gave up fighting I never said goodbye So why? Why did we let go?..
Every day is a new breath, but the battle′s still on trying hard to elude them by keeping my head strong Still I feel the exhaustion of wanting your kiss As I′m left here asking the same damn question
You never showed that you were scared of losing me And You... You didn′t fight to make me stay in your arms
Holdin′ on it does nothing for me Solid ground just makes me feel unsure On the out i never get uneasy Nothing seems to scare me anymore
The look thats in your eyes Made you feel the same My heart beat rases high When you say my name
CHORUS I let go when I know Theres no safety left below I let go so I′m free to fall And my feeling begins In the way you make me spin And it happens everytime I hear you call I Let Go
Empty rooms threaten me with shadows Now the night it feels like a friend I always was the girl who walked home backwards So the journey never had to end Your smile is like a star that lights up all around Your wisper in the dark is now, now my favourite sound
CHORUS I let go when I know Theres no safety left below I let go so I′m free to fall And my feeling begins In the way you make me sway And it happens everytime I hear you call I Let Go
Your like a stage about me I don′t have to change my crazy Cause you get the girl i wanna be
I let go when I know Theres no safety left below I let go so I′m free to fall
CHORUS I let go when I know Theres no safety left below I let go so I′m free to fall And my feeling begins In the way you make me sway And it happens everytime I hear you call (I Let Go x 5)
[Chorus] If you can see me, then you′re probably a little too close So you think you could love me, well you gotta be stronger than most Cause my ex didn′t like it, didn′t like it, no my friends they don′t like it, they don′t like it Somebody remind me When′s the right time, when′s the right time to let go
[verse 1] Uh, dear whoeva the fuck is listening, Tell me of the pleasures of being a normal citizen Cause all these fittins′ and Vivians keeping me from fittin′ in Why do I feel safer on stage than in my own living room My grandma say that if I leave my drink I shouldn′t sip again Ooh this tour has got me feeling tired like I′m itchin′ and uh even though it′s physical differences in my siblings that′s why I feel so down even at the top of the ____
[Chorus]
[verse 2] Uh, dear whoeva the fuck is witnessin′, Disturbing London independent black businessman Based on the work and the effort I′m gunna give this year Everybody′s getting the presents they want for Christmas, yeah Life is only ninety nine winters So I′m tryna bond with daddy even though I don′t like Guiness Don′t be confused by my image, I′m no fuckin′ public pin-up
But my heart won′t let me say no to a picture
[Chorus]
[verse 3] Uh, dear whoeva the fuck is, Fuck it, this is discovery hate it or love it I′m now officially the property of the public since licensing my album And signing a deal to be published But none of these songs are written for me, nor am I a puppet Journalists come for interviews but don′t stay on the subject Yeah, no, yea - are we done yet? Questions you′ve asked me hundreds, now can you grant me some rest Because I′m tired of it, I′m living out my dream, and I′m tired from it If music needed saving, I′d die for it Music′s where my heart is, I′m alive for it I promise
[break] If I′m never liked my heart might break Here in the dark, yeah, we′ll be safe I don′t care, no looking back I′ve never been, never been, this far from home
