Been a prisoner of the past
Had a bitterness when I looked back
Was tellin' everyone it's not that bad
'Til all of it hit the fan
I know I'm always like
Tellin' everybody you don't gotta be a victim
Life ain't always fair, but hell is livin' in resentment
Choose redemption
Your happy ending's up to you
I think it's time to practice what I preach
Exorcise the demons inside me
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Live and learn and never forget it
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go
Had a boogieman under my bed
Putting crazy thoughts inside my head
Always whisperin', "it's all your fault"
He was tellin' me, "no, you're not that strong"
I'm done relivin' bad decisions
I see now maybe that's the reason why I
I've been through hell and back
Yeah, honestly, what made me who I am
Holding on to wasted time
Gotta learn to let go in life, ooh
Learn to let go, oh
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Live and learn and never forget it
Whoa, gotta learn to let it go (hey)
Learn to let go
Learn to let it go
Learn to let go
Learn to let it go
