Starin′ at the ceilin', tryna fight the feelin′

Deep inside your heart, you know it isn't what it was

Anxiety is growin' like fog over the ocean

Hopin′, wishin′, prayin' that it′s gone when you get up

You could try to wrestle with the mirror

But the truth, it can't be any clearer than that (clearer than that)

You′ve been fightin' it off just like a fever

But there′s no use holdin' it back

Sometimes you need the rain, to know you miss the sun

Sometimes you need the pain, to know it isn't love

Sometimes the one you hold

You gotta let ′em go, you gotta let ′em go

You gotta let 'em go

Go

This isn′t what you wanted, knots inside your stomach

Do you have to hurt 'em, so you don′t hurt anymore?

You could try to wrestle with the mirror

But the truth, it can't be any clearer than that

You′ve been fightin' it off just like a fever

But there's no use holdin′ it back

Sometimes you need the rain, to know you miss the sun

Sometimes you need the pain, to know it isn′t love

Sometimes the one you hold

You gotta let 'em go, you gotta let ′em go

You gotta let 'em go

You gotta let ′em go-oh

You gotta let 'em go

You gotta let ′em go, you gotta let 'em go, oh

When what hurts and what's right are the same

When it kills you to leave or to stay

When there′s nothin′ to fix and nothin' left to save

Mm-mm

You gotta let ′em go-mm

You gotta let 'em go-ooh

You gotta let ′em go, mm-hm

You gotta let 'em go, you gotta let ′em go

You gotta let 'em go

You gotta let 'em go-oh

You gotta let ′em go

You gotta let ′em go, you gotta let 'em go
