Some Things You Let Go..

And the air was full of various storms and saints
Praying in the street as the banks began to break
And I'm in the throes of it, somewhere in the belly of the beast
But you took your toll on me, so I gave myself over willingly
You got a hold on me, I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream
I am teaching myself how to be free .

The monument of a memory, you tear it down in your head
Don't make the mountain your enemy
Get out, get up there instead
You saw the stars out in front of you, too tempting not to touch
But even though it shocked you, something's electric in your blood
And people just untie themselves, uncurling lifelines
If you could just forgive yourself
But still you stumble, feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did...
Some things you let go in order to live
While all around you, the buildings sway
You sing it out loud, "who made us this way?"
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe
Hold on to your heart, don't give it away

You'll find a rooftop to sing from or find a hallway to dance
You don't need no edge to cling from, your heart is there, it's in your hands
I know it seems like forever, I know it seems like an age
But one day this will be over - I swear it's not so far away
And people just untie themselves, uncurling lifelines
If you could just forgive yourself

But still you stumble, feet give way
Outside the world seems a violent place
But you had to have him, and so you did...
Some things you let go... in order to live
While all around you, the buildings sway
You sing it out loud, "who made us this way?"
I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay
Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe

Hold on to your... ...heart...
