Let Em Go

Matt Hansen

Starin′ at the ceilin', tryna fight the feelin′
Deep inside your heart, you know it isn't what it was
Anxiety is growin' like fog over the ocean
Hopin′, wishin′, prayin' that it′s gone when you get up

You could try to wrestle with the mirror
But the truth, it can't be any clearer than that (clearer than that)
You′ve been fightin' it off just like a fever
But there′s no use holdin' it back

Sometimes you need the rain, to know you miss the sun
Sometimes you need the pain, to know it isn't love
Sometimes the one you hold
You gotta let ′em go, you gotta let ′em go

You gotta let 'em go
Go

This isn′t what you wanted, knots inside your stomach
Do you have to hurt 'em, so you don′t hurt anymore?

You could try to wrestle with the mirror
But the truth, it can't be any clearer than that
You′ve been fightin' it off just like a fever
But there's no use holdin′ it back

Sometimes you need the rain, to know you miss the sun
Sometimes you need the pain, to know it isn′t love
Sometimes the one you hold
You gotta let 'em go, you gotta let ′em go

You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let ′em go-oh
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let ′em go, you gotta let 'em go, oh

When what hurts and what's right are the same
When it kills you to leave or to stay
When there′s nothin′ to fix and nothin' left to save
Mm-mm

You gotta let ′em go-mm
You gotta let 'em go-ooh
You gotta let ′em go, mm-hm
You gotta let 'em go, you gotta let ′em go

You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go-oh
You gotta let ′em go
You gotta let ′em go, you gotta let 'em go
