[English]

I'm feeling lights out

I'm feeling shut down

And when I speak up, nothing wanna come out

I've been chained up to (I've been chained up to)

My mind

I'm trying to wake up, and find a new love

And tell the old me that I've had enough

Trying to leave it all (Trying to leave it all)

Behind

I've been looking for the night light switch

I've been feeling like I'm over it

When feelings control me

They ain't gonna hold me back

Love me and let me go (oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

Love me and let me go (oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

Love me and let me

Walk away, finally let me breathe

Stop being so obsessed with me

Love me and let me go

Love me and let me go

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)

Thank you for the bad times

And the landmines

And the feelings that came like landslides

Running down my mind

Each night

Thank you for the dark days

And the tidal waves

Making real life feel so sideways

Really been a wild

Wild ride

I've been looking for the night light switch

I've been feeling like I'm over it

When feelings control me

They ain't gonna hold me back

Love me and let me go (oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

Love me and let me go (oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

Love me and let me

Walk away, finally let me breathe

Stop being so obsessed with me

Love me and let me go

Love me and let me go

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)

(Let me go, let me go, let me go now)
