Just Let It Go

  • How many years? Twenty or more
    Dedicated was I, indebted, indentured
    Repairing the roof, washing the floor
    I dreamt of the world, but I never ventured

    Chains 'round my ankles, locks on the door
    The shackles that bound me don't any more

    In the end, I let it go
    Maybe it's best just to let it go

    Was I even good at this? I'm not even sure
    I just did the job and kept my head down
    I fooled myself thinking that my aims were pure
    A full veil covered the face of a clown

    Hooked up to a plough, I tilled the earth
    I buried a few, and to some I gave birth

    In the end, I let it go
    Maybe it's best just to let it go
    Our changes came fast, but the torments were slow
    Let it go, let it go

    A person, a gender, a human soul
    What kind of career, means a life in a cage?
    One day I could hear a distant bell toll
    Without emotion, no jaw on, or rage

    I took just enough to see me well gone
    My tiny space vacant, I'd left before dawn

    Oh, in the end, I let it go
    Maybe it's best just to let it go
    Our changes were fast
    But the torments were slow
    Let it go, let it go

    I let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go
    Let it go, let it go Writer/s: Chrissie Hynde, James Walbourne
