I've been sleepless at night, 'cause I don't know how I feel

I've been waiting on you, just to say something real

There's a light on the road and I think you know

Morning has come and I have to go

 

I don't know why, I don't know why

We need to break so hard

I don't know why we break so hard

 

But if we're strong enough to let it in

We're strong enough to let it go oh oh

Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now

 

If I look back to the start, now I know

I see everything true

There's still a fire in my heart, my darling

But I'm not burning for you

We've started it wrong and I think you know

We waited too long, now I have to go

 

I don't know why, I don't know why

We need to break so hard

I don't know why we break so hard

 

But if we're strong enough to let it in

We're strong enough to let it go oh oh

Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now

 

Who says, who says

Who says, who says

 

Who says truth is beauty after all?

And who says love should break us when we fall?

 

But if we're strong enough to let it in

We're strong enough to let it go oh oh

Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now

Let it all go, let it all go, let it all out now

We're strong enough to let it go oh oh!
