From walking home and talking loads 00:20

00:24

To seeing shows in evening clothes with you 00:27

From nervous touch and getting drunk 00:33

00:38

To staying up and waking up with you 00:40

Now we're sleeping on the edge 00:46

Holding something we don't need 00:48

All this delusion in our heads 00:52

Is gonna bring us to our knees 00:54

So come on, let it go 00:57

Just let it be 01:01

Why don't you be you 01:04

And I'll be me? 01:07

Everything that's broke 01:11

Leave it to the breeze 01:14

Why don't you be you 01:17

And I'll be me? 01:21

And I'll be me 01:24

01:28

From throwing clothes across the floor 01:38

To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you 01:45

If this is all we're living for 01:51

Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore? 01:57

I used to recognize myself 02:04

It's funny how reflections change 02:06

When we're becoming something else 02:10

I think it's time to walk away 02:12

So come on, let it go 02:15

Just let it be 02:19

Why don't you be you 02:22

And I'll be me? 02:25

Everything that's broke 02:28

Leave it to the breeze 02:32

Why don't you be you 02:35

And I'll be me 02:38

And I'll be me 02:42

02:45

Tryna fit your hand inside of mine 02:56

When we know it just don't belong 03:00

There's no force on earth 03:03

Could make me feel right, no 03:05

Tryna push this problem up the hill 03:09

When it's just too heavy to hold 03:13

Think now is the time to let it slide 03:16

So come on, let it go 03:20

Just let it be 03:24

Why don't you be you 03:27

And I'll be me? 03:30

Everything that's broke 03:33

Leave it to the breeze 03:36

Let the ashes fall 03:40

Forget about me 03:43

Come on, let it go 03:46

Just let it be 03:50

Why don't you be you 03:53

And I'll be me? 03:56

And I'll be me 03:59

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

From walking home and talking loads

...

To seeing shows in evening clothes with you

From nervous touch and getting drunk

...

To staying up and waking up with you

Now we're sleeping on the edge

Holding something we don't need

All this delusion in our heads

Is gonna bring us to our knees

So come on, let it go

Just let it be

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

Everything that's broke

Leave it to the breeze

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

And I'll be me

...

From throwing clothes across the floor

To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you

If this is all we're living for

Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?

I used to recognize myself

It's funny how reflections change

When we're becoming something else

I think it's time to walk away

So come on, let it go

Just let it be

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

Everything that's broke

Leave it to the breeze

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me

...

Tryna fit your hand inside of mine

When we know it just don't belong

There's no force on earth

Could make me feel right, no

Tryna push this problem up the hill

When it's just too heavy to hold

Think now is the time to let it slide

So come on, let it go

Just let it be

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

Everything that's broke

Leave it to the breeze

Let the ashes fall

Forget about me

Come on, let it go

Just let it be

Why don't you be you

And I'll be me?

And I'll be me

...
