Let It Be
Labrinth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put my money where my mouth is and I laid my cards
I'mma go out fighting
And leave my scars
I don't know about tomorrow
But I know I got heart
Put my feet right on the margin
And I just might hit the bottom
Baby, this is Russian roulette
And it ain't my gun.
Hallelujah, I ain't dead, yet
And I'm still going strong (oh, oh, oh)
I don't know about tomorrow
But the battle ain't done
They say losers are forgotten
And I just might hit the bottom
But we all gotta take the leap, and let it be
Oh let it be,
Oh let it be,
Just let it be!
Oh oh oh oh
Just let it be, baby
It's all been said and done
Oh I've done and said it all, hope and pray
I think it's time to catch that train
I don't know where it starts
And I don't know where it ends
I guess that's the name of the game, oh oh
Oh, got to let it go
Yeah, I got to let it go,
Yeah, oh no, oh no! Let it be!
Come on, come on!
(Let it be, no no no) Let it be, baby
When you're holding on your last breath
When you're looking for a way out
Oh, let it be!
Let it be, let it be, let it be
Just let it be!
