[Verse 1]
Starin' at the ceilin', tryna fight the feelin'
Deep inside your heart, you know it isn't what it was
Anxiety is growin' like fog over the ocean
Hopin', wishin', prayin' that it's gone when you get up

[Pre-Chorus]
You could try to wrestle with the mirror
But the truth, it can't be any clearer than that
You've been fightin' it off just like a fever
But there's no use holdin' it back

[Chorus]
Sometimes you need the rain
To know you miss the sun
Sometimes you need the pain
To know it isn't love
Sometimes the one you hold
You gotta let 'em go, you gotta let 'em go

[Refrain]
You gotta let 'em go
Go

[Verse 2]
This isn't what you wanted, knots inside your stomach
Do you have to hurt 'em, so you don't hurt anymore?
[Pre-Chorus]
You could try to wrestle with the mirror
But the truth, it can't be any clearer than that
You've been fightin' it off just like a fever
But there's no use holdin' it back

[Chorus]
Sometimes you need the rain
To know you miss the sun
Sometimes you need the pain
To know it isn't love
Sometimes the one you hold
You gotta let 'em go, you gotta let 'em go

[Refrain]
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go

[Bridge]
Oh-oh, when what hurts and what's right are the same
When it kills you to leave or to stay
When there's nothin' to fix and nothin' left to save
Mm-mm
[Refrain]
You gotta let 'em go, mm-mm
You gotta let 'em go, mm-mm
You gotta let 'em go, mm-mm
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go
You gotta let 'em go

[Outro]
(Go, go)
