I think we've been here before

I recognize this place

I've seen the marks of confusion

wipe out a single sign of grace

And I don't want to play anymore

Not when the stakes are so high

So before we circle round once more

I'm gonna lay down,

Lay down my pride


Let it go, let it be

Don't waste all your emotion on this

tit-for-tat machine

Let it go, let it be

Let it go


I turn on the TV

and it screams out at me

Nothing seems to have changed

since the start of Adam and Eve

So we're waiting for the sky to fall

and we're buying brand new toys

But before we circle round once more

Can we lay down

Just lay down this pride


Let it go, let it be

Don't waste all your emotion on this

tit-for-tat machine

Let it go, let it be

Let it go

Don't go wasting your emotions

No one wins if we keep score

Let it go, let it be

Let it go
