[English]

Love that once hung on the wall

Used to mean something, but now it means nothing

The echoes are gone in the hall

But I still remember, the pain of December

Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say

I'm sorry it's too late

I'm breaking free from these memories

Gotta let it go, just let it go

I've said goodbye, set it all on fire

Gotta let it go, just let it go

You came back to find I was gone

And that place is empty, like the hole that was left in me

Like we were nothing at all

It's not what you meant to me, thought we were meant to be

Oh, there isn't one thing left you could say

I'm sorry it's too late

I'm breaking free from these memories

Gotta let it go, just let it go

I've said goodbye, set it all on fire

Gotta let it go, just let it go

I let it go (And now I know)

A brand new life (Is down this road)

And when it's right (You always know)

So this time (I won't let go)

There's only one thing left here to say

Love's never too late

I've broken free from those memories

I've let it go, I've let it go

And two goodbyes led to this new life

Don't let me go, don't let me go

(Oh, oh)

(Oh, oh)

(Oh, oh)

Don't let me go

Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go (Oh, oh)

Won't let you go

Don't let me go

Won't let you go

Don't let me go

Won't let you go

Don't let me go

Won't let you go

Don't let me go
