Let It Go
James Bay Lyrics
From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're sleeping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
All this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
I used to recognize myself
It's funny how reflections change
When we're becoming something else
I think it's time to walk away
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
Tryna fit your hand inside mine
When we know it just don't belong
'Cause no force on earth
Could make it feel right, no, woah
Tryna push this problem up the hill
When it's just too heavy to hold
Think now's the time to let it slide
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Let the ashes fall
Forget about me
Come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?
And I'll be me
Oh, me, oh

“Let It Go” is about young love that ultimately went wrong. After the couple’s tentatively cute time together, their relationship became forced and Bay ultimately suggests a breakup.
Its release history is interesting, to say the least. First, it was released as the lead single from Bay’s debut album, Chaos And The Calm in September 2014. However, it achieved much more mainstream success when it was rereleased on May 12, 2015, reaching #10 on the UK singles charts and #16 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Dank Bob “All the words I had to say
They don't mean nothing to you
What the hell, we're on the way
There is no nothing better
All we had to do was touch
That was the best chance
I could have ever and all of us
All day long we looked to fall
Looking into the sun
And found a way to get along
To be waiting for you
In the day, oh, in the day
There is nights between us
Looking for another way
All the words I said were wrong
They don't mean nothing to you
All we had to do was touch
And there's no nothing better
In the day, oh, in the day
I've been reaching for you
Nights between us all the way
It's all the way
You got it, it took so long to bare
It's all the way
You got it, it took so long to bare
And we've been waiting for it
All the words I said were wrong
They don't mean nothing to you
All we had to do was touch
And there's no nothing better
What the hell are beds for, man?
They go waiting for you
Waste away, don't find the time
It's all by your side
Hey, you got it
Took too long to get it (you got it)
Hey, you got it
Took too long to get it (you got it)
Hey, you got it
Took too long to get it (you got it)
Hey, you got it
Took too long to get it (you got it)
Hey, you got it
Took too long to get it (you got it)
Hey, you got it
Took too long to get it (you got it)
Hey, you got it
Took too long to get it (you got it)
Hey, you got it
Took too long to get it (you got it)”
