Let It Go
Jens O. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, am I someone that you used to know
Like I'm a ghost you see in a glow
And when I look at you in this dark
My eyes are flashing lights in the night
You like to keep me under control
Like now I'm? watch it burn
I'm your forbeaten? set me free
I'm your forbeaten hopes make me real
Let it go
Ooohhhh
Let it go
Ooohhhh
Let it go
Ooohhhh
Let it go
Just let me pinch your heart with a thrill
We're at the point of no return
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go




Let it go
Let it go
