I can hear the gun that stole my life away Twenty-three years of agonizing pain Lost a mother sister and brothers Only to find myself alone and so afraid I can feel the scars that my father made Ripped to shreds with his buckle everyday Forced to love him, I couldn’t trust him I only wished I could have run so far away
Let it go, that’s what they said I didn’t know, that’s what they meant So let it go, that’s what they said
Chorus So I gave it all up to you You’re the only one who knows me Gave it all up to you So I will never be lonely
I hit the bottom my friends began to leave I had it all or so it may have seemed Cost of living without forgiving I deserved all this pain and misery I forgot myself and drowned myself in shame Riddled with doubt and no one left to blame I had nothing no one could love me Filled with anger I was only eighteen Let it go, that’s what they said I didn’t know, that’s what they meant So let it go, that’s what they said
