  • I just want a life that seems a little better than a dream
    But I just can't seem to get on my feet
    So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
    I'll hope someday that you will know

    I sit back and think about the life I've had
    So much to change, but I can't go back
    What happened to that kid? He used to play in the street
    I think about that kid, he looked just like me
    Had a smile, had a home, never grow old
    When we grow up, do we have to grow cold?
    Spent his whole life looking for salvation
    Never realized nobody could save him
    So all these words, for what they're worth
    I know it's hard, I know it hurts
    And we laugh at the past 'cause it's how we learn
    Welcome to the world, now let's watch it burn

    I just want a life that seems a little better than a dream
    But I just can't seem to get on my feet
    So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
    I'll hope someday that you will know
    You gotta let go, gotta let go
    I hope someday you'll understand

    Sometimes it's hidden, wish that I could see
    A future picture of an older me
    Would he be smiling and would he be happy?
    Would he say a thousand words while looking right at me?
    Is he different or the same old me?
    Is he still chasing after these same old dreams?
    I know that I'll never reach perfection
    At least he could point me in the right direction
    Some grow old, and some grow cold
    They'd sell their souls for a heart of gold
    God only knows where the hell would I be
    If I had the old me sitting beside me

    I just want a life that seems a little better than a dream
    But I just can't seem to get on my feet
    So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
    I'll hope someday that you will know
    You gotta let go, you gotta let go, you gotta let go
    I hope someday you'll understand

    (So I gotta let go) no one knows what it's like to be alone
    Please, tell me, is anyone out there?
    (So I gotta let go) no one knows what it's like to be alone
    Please, tell me, is anyone out there?
