Another dream bouncing on the ceiling and falling on the floor again,
Another promise of all I ever want to be ending up a might have been.

Why' - Hey, what's the use in asking why'
I now all the reasons why I'm right back where I started.

I'm holding on to ashes where I thought there was gold,
I'm holding on to everything and losing control,
I'm holding on to nothing and you say, "Let it go, let it go,"
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.

All the time wasted on illusion, building castles out of sand,
The more I close my fingers on the future, the more it's slipping through my hands.

I know nothing lasts forever, and you know how it comes together, so why can't I just let you have it all'

I'm holding on to ashes where I thought there was gold,
I'm holding on to everything and losing control,
I'm holding on to nothing and you say, "Let it go, let it go,"
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go.

You say, "Trust me with tomorrow,"
So I say, "Lord, I'm gonna follow you this day; I've got to let you have it all."

No holding on to ashes where I thought there was gold,
No holding on to everything and losing control,
No holding on to nothing when you say, "Let it go, let it go,"
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go,
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, (I'm holding on to you)
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, (I'm holding on to you)
Let it go.
