Let Go
RAC/Sir Sly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, tell me, tell me your problems
I'm here for you
Just try, just try, just try to stay sober
It's eating you
And they say you are a monster, but what I see's a child
Your eyes, your eyes are glowing red
(You are golden, you are pure)
So let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
You play, you play, you play up to them
But they're not around
Don't be, don't be so rough with me
When you are a gem
And they ask how I can love you, when all they see is this
But I see the things that you can't contain and what it does to you
So let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
Let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
(You are golden, you are pure)
So let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
Let go, let go of your fire
Let it go, let go of your fire
Live it up 'til we crash and there's smoke in the air
Let it go, let go of your fire
