  • You were ridin' your bike to the sound of 'It's No Big Deal'
    And you're tryin' to lift off the ground on those old two wheels
    Nothin' 'bout the way that you were treated ever seemed especially alarming 'til now
    So you tie up your hair and you smile like it's no big deal

    You can let it go
    You can throw a party full of everyone you know
    And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love
    You don't have to be sorry for leavin' and growin' up, mm

    Matilda, you talk of the pain like it's all alright
    But I know that you feel like a piece of you's dead inside
    You showed me a power that is strong enough to bring sun to the darkest days
    It's none of my business but it's just been on my mind

    You can let it go
    You can throw a party full of everyone you know
    And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love
    You don't have to be sorry for leavin' and growin' up
    You can see the world
    Followin' the seasons anywhere you go
    You don't need a reason 'cause they never showed you love
    You don't have to be sorry for doin' it on your own

    You're just in time, make your tea and your toast
    You framed all your posters and dyed your clothes, ooh
    You don't have to go, you don't have to go home
    Oh, there's a long way to go
    I don't believe that time will change your mind
    In other words, I know they won't hurt you anymore
    As long as you can let them go

    You can let it go
    You can throw a party full of everyone you know
    You can start a family who will always show you love
    You don't have to be sorry for doin' it on your own
    You can let it go
    You can throw a party full of everyone you know
    You can start a family who will always show you love
    You don't have to be sorry, no Writer/s: Amy Marie Allen, Harry Edward Styles, Thomas Edward Percy Hull, Tyler Sam Johnson
