Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is your 2 a.m.
Leave it all well spent
And just break down and cry
'Cause heartbreak can't be pushed aside

This is your heart undone
Take all the time you want
And some will try to help
But there is freedom in breaking down

So darling, just cry if you wanna
Dance like you gotta
Be queen of the world in the morning
Oh, just scream a bit louder
Sing in the shower
Who cares if the neighbors wake up
'Cause this is your 2 a.m. song

This is the storm inside
Don't you dare deny
That your heart is on your sleeve
But that's the best place that it can be

So darling, just cry if you wanna
Dance like you gotta
Be queen of the world in the morning
Oh, just scream a bit louder
Sing in the shower
Who cares if the neighbors wake up
'Cause this is your 2 a.m. song (let it go, let it go, let it go, ha, ha)
Oh (let it go, let it go, let it go), your 2 a.m. song
(Let it go, let it go, let it go, ha, ha)
(Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, ha, ha)

And they never said it was gonna be easy
But they never said it would hurt this bad
And so when people try to tell you different
Remember, it's okay to be sad
Ooh

Darling, just cry if you wanna
Dance like you gotta
Be queen of the world in the morning
Oh, just scream a bit louder
Sing in the shower
Who cares if the neighbors wake up

So just cry if you wanna
Dance like you gotta
Be queen of the world in the morning
Oh, just scream a bit louder
Sing in the shower
Who cares if the neighbors wake up
'Cause this is your 2 a.m. song (let it go, let it go, let it go)
Oh (ha, ha), your 2 a.m. song
(Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, ha, ha)





Hmm, your 2 a.m. song
