Lyrics
just let it go
pick up the pieces and move on
just let it go
what's done is done
what's gone is gone
just let it go
what good can come from keeping score
just let it go
cause getting even costs you more
i know there's times when you must make a stand
your whole world defined by the moment at hand
but it's not time now
just let it go
you'll find it's easier than it seems
just let it go
don't make it mean more than it means
just let it go
then you can get on with your life
just let it go
revenge can cut you like a knife
