Backstage Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About the things that you said
A dreamless nighter,
I'm back in my bed
I got a feeling
I'm not coming back,
No I'm never back
My heart's still beating
You can't believe it,
But I'm ready to let you go
My heart's still beating
Like a train coming through the snow
You can't believe it,
But I'm ready to let you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go, oh-oh, oh oh!
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go, oh-oh, oh oh!
I used to feel so controlled
Just fufilling my roles
And now that I'm awake,
I can melt away the cold
You can't believe it,
I'm done doing what,
Yeah, I'm done doing what I'm told!
My heart's still beating
Like a train coming through the snow
You can't believe it,
But I'm ready to let you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go, oh-oh, oh oh!
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go, oh-oh, oh oh!
My heart's still beating
Like a train coming through the snow
You can't believe it,
But I'm ready to let you go
My heart's still beating
Like a train coming through the snow
You can't believe it,
But I'm ready to let you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go, oh-oh, oh oh!
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go, oh-oh, oh oh!
