Every night I lie awake<br />
How thoughts come rollin' in<br />
Love is won, love is lost<br />
And love's that might have been<br />
<br />
I see the ghost of long lost hope<br />
And shattered broken dreams<br />
I know it's time to carry on<br />
It's harder than it seemed<br />
<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
All the pain is ripe<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
And move on with my life<br />
<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
It's time to let it leave<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
And then I can be free<br />
<br />
The times gone by, I can't deny<br />
They left a mark on me<br />
Don't understand the master plan<br />
That only God can see<br />
<br />
I need to know, I won't let go<br />
And lock it all inside<br />
I wonder why they say goodbye<br />
And gather up my pride<br />
<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
All the pain is ripe<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
And move on with my life<br />
<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
It's time to let it leave<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
And then I can be free<br />
<br />
I know I have the will to carry on<br />
Life's made me strong<br />
I've learned too much to turn my head away<br />
I'm gonna stand<br />
<br />
Brick by brick, I'll build my life again<br />
And I'll begin to learn from all of my mistakes<br />
And make them fly away<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
All the pain is ripe<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
And move on with my life<br />
<br />
I've gotta let it go<br />
It's time to let it leave<br />
I've gotta let it go
