Letting Go

I'm letting go of everything...

that doesn't bring me peace.

I'm burning it all away

inside of me.

There's nothing worth keeping in this world

that I can see.

So I'm letting go of everything.

 

People can say whatever the hell they want,

but we all know how cheap talking is.

Things will go whatever way they ought,

but I'm always alone in this.

 

It is what it is...

 

I'm letting go of everything...

that doesn't bring me peace.

I'm burning it all away

inside of me.

There's nothing worth keeping in this world

that I can see.

So I'm letting go of everything.

 

All there is in me is to go with the flow,

but it's never worked before.

All that I've really ever been shown

is that they leave as soon as they see the door.

 

I'm no better or worse than they are,

but I'm selfish for wanting what I feel with my heart.

I'm tired of walking down this road.

I think that I'll just go...

 

I never wanted this...

 

So I'm letting go of everything...

that doesn't bring me peace.

I'm burning it all away 

deep inside of me.

There's nothing worth keeping in this world

that I can see.

So I'm letting go of everything.

I'm letting go of everything...

that doesn't want me.

Picture something by Staind. Aaron Lewis is a hell of a singer.
