I can hear the gun that stole my life away 
Twenty-three years of agonizing pain 
Lost a mother sister and brothers 
Only to find myself alone and so afraid 
I can feel the scars that my father made 
Ripped to shreds with his buckle everyday 
Forced to love him, I couldn’t [bad word] him 
I only wished I could [bad word] so far away 

Let it go, that’s what they said 
I didn’t know, that’s what they meant 
So let it go, that’s what they said 

 [bad word] 
So I gave it all up to you 
You’re the only one who knows me 
Gave it all up to you 
So I will never be lonely 

I hit the bottom my friends began to leave 
I had it all or so it may have seemed 
Cost of living without forgiving 
I deserved all this pain and misery 
I forgot myself and drowned myself in shame 
Riddled with doubt and no one left to blame 
I had nothing no one could love me 
Filled with anger I was only eighteen 
Let it go, that’s what they said 
I didn’t know, that’s what they meant 
So let it go, that’s what they said
