I keep looking at this picture of you
And how you're smiling like you never knew
What's outside your door, the darkness all around you
Who knew that those shoulders would come
To hold the weight of the world, knots undone
Pain unsung, things that don't belong to you
Let 'em go, let 'em go
Let 'em go, let 'em go
Let go
I keep looking at this picture of you
And how you're smiling like you never knew
What's inside your mind, the things that try to tether you
Who knew that this heart would become
So very worn while it's still so young
So full of life it's capable of killing you
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
So put your hands up, put your hands to the sky
Unclench your fists, keep your palms open wide
Lift your chin up, let your eyes shine bright
But don't let them touch what I've seen inside
And I'll be right here, I'll be close behind
Though you're feeling so far away tonight
One day you'll turn around, you'll open your eyes
And see I've been here the whole time
Holding on, holding on
I never stopped holding on, holding on
So let go
