Story behind the song
I just thought I would write a song that encouraged sucidal people to just let go of whatever it is that has them so torn apart that you would cause them to choose to, you know....kill themselves.
Lyrics
When you're hurt by words of anger
or stripped of what your worth
when you're changin' with the times to find
that change becomes a curse
and your confidence is shattered
by the one you trusted most
and you see your body hangin'
from the wrong end of a rope.
Let it go, go your own way
let it go, there's a new day
let it shine, shine upon you
and may tomorrow find you
on the road, to a new place
where there's hope you'll find a pathway
don't give up, don't lose control
just let it go
When the love you had was promised
and your life was all together
until a goodbye letter taught you
that nothing lasts forever
and all the mem'ries you got left
are pictures hangin' on the wall
and you're findin' all your answers
in pills and alcohol
Let it go, go your own way
let it go, there's a new day
let it shine, shine upon you
and may tomorrow find you
on the road, to a new place
where there's hope you'll find a pathway
don't give up, don't lose control
just let it go
It ain't easy gettin' back there
once you think you've crossed the line
and every street you tried to take
you meet another dead end sign
and when you question your existence
knowing what tears will be shed
you need all the strength inside
to take that gun down from your head
Let it go, go your own way
let it go, there's a new day
let it shine, shine upon you
and may tomorrow find you
on the road, to a new place
where there's hope you'll find a pathway
don't give up, don't lose control
just let it go
don't give up, don't lose control
just let it go
don't give up, don't lose control
just let it go
