Lyrics

LETTING GO
(Barry Russo, Shay Watson)


I'd spent my whole life holding on to yesterday
I'd always let the smaller things get in the way
The bigger picture's something I could never see
But lately I have felt a change come over me

Some may say I'm strange
Some may say I've gone insane
But who cares if they're right?
'Cause I've finally seen the light

This time I'm LETTING GO
This time I'm gonna cross the line
This time I'm LETTING GO
I'm gonna leave it all behind
Forget about the past
There'll be no more looking back
This time I'm LETTING GO

I'd learned my lines each time and danced around the truth
Now I'm tossing out the script, forget about reviews
I've got to say it as it is let the chips fall where they will
I'm gonna take it to the edge and tell you how I feel

I won't be strung along
No I won't sing that same old song
This is how it's gonna be
'Cause I'm setting myself free

Chorus:repeat

Enough is enough
I can't play by the rules of a captured heart
There's a freedom that I've found
And I've got to get it out

Chorus:repeat
