I put my wishes in a piggy bank
I’ve hoped too hard for this to simply be handed away
I knew six months ago something wasn’t right
But I was captured by the thought of what might be
I’ve never been patient and I chose not to wait
Casting you in a superficial role, I led my way
I taunted You when I feigned humility
You said that you want all of me
Let it go
Let it go
That’s how we grow
I stare at dreams that have been taken away
Superimpose myself in pictures where I have no place
If I could go back now and do it again
Would I trade what I had for what could have been?
Let it go
Let it go
That’s how we grow
I heard you call and so I turned around
You know what’s best for me, so why would I settle down here?
Tired of manipulating, all that I want is peace
It takes a while to see the beauty in release
