The Art Of Letting Go

I've been treading water ever since my feelings changed
I fell out of order, didn't feel the same
Looking in the mirror, didn't recognise my face
Painted on facades slipping out of place

I've been trying, trying, trying
To go back to who I was
But I'd be lying, lying, lying
To myself but at what cost?

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I've been high and I've been low
Swallowed up by a black hole
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
I'm not giving up
I'm finally letting go

I've been turning metal, heavy metal into gold
Baptised by the fire, just so I can grow
Pushing out the concrete, pushing like a stubborn rose
Now that I'm in bloom all my colours show

I've been trying, trying, trying
To go back to who I was
But I'd be lying, lying, lying
To myself but at what cost?

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I've been high and I've been low
Swallowed up by a black hole
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
(Let go)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
I'm not giving up
I'm finally letting go

Now I've got the freedom, no need to be sad
Everything I wanted, I already had
I just didn't know-oh there was an art to letting go
I just didn't know-oh there was an art to letting go
I just didn't know-oh (I just didn't know-oh)
There was an art to letting go
I just didn't know-oh (I just didn't know-oh)
There was an art to letting go

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I've been high and I've been low
Swallowed up by a black hole
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
(Let go)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh
I'm not giving up, I'm finally letting go
I didn't know there was an art to letting go
