You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast
And you've been hoping this year will be better than the last
You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights
With the strongest drinks and longest lines
It's not that big a surprise
That you're feeling more dead than alive
You're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know
If you need, somewhere to go
I'll be listening when you call
And I'll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you,
I'll let you know I will

You said the hole in your head
Has gotten bigger than the hole in your chest
And you're stuck between the past and present tense
You said you've been waging a war against so many years of lies
With stronger drinks and longer lines
It's not that big a surprise
That you're feeling more dead than alive
You're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know
If you need, somewhere to go
I'll be listening when you call
And I'll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you,
I'll let you I will
I'll let you I will
I'll let you I will, but sometimes...

You gotta let it go!
Gotta let it go!

So this pen, is starting to become,
A pipe bomb and these songs,
Have turned to anthems again
To everything that's changed,
And to everything that's gone away, here's my condolences
To the future I never met,
It's gone and never coming back, it's not coming back
So don't hold on to your past,
You gotta let it go!
Gotta let it go!

‘Cause friends leave as time fades away,
The people and the places along the way,
Without a doubt,
Yeah, screws fall in and screws, they fall out

Tomorrow's gone up in smoke,
And I wonder when I'm alone,
Where'd my convictions go?
So, to everyone that's gone away,
Or fades away, or stays the same, here's my apologies
To the person that I used to be,
Before I burned down every bridge and every inch
Of everything I used to know,
I gotta let it go!
Gotta let it go!

‘Cause friends leave as time fades away,
The people and the places along the way,
Without a doubt,
Yeah, screws fall in and screws, they fall out

Friends leave as time fades away,
The people and the places along the way,
So don't hold onto your past,
No, it's never coming back,
(You gotta let it go!) Friends leave as time fades away,
(Gotta let it go!) The people and the places along the way

Friends leave as time fades away,
The people and the places along the way,
Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out
Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out
Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out
Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out
Without a doubt, yeah, screws fall in, and screws, they fall out
