Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I caught you watching me under the light

Can I realign?

They say it's easy to leave you behind

I don't want to try

[Verse 2]

Cut cover, take that test

Hold courage to your chest

Don't wanna wait for you

Don't wanna have to lose

All that I compromised to feel another high

I've got to keep it down tonight

[Verse 3]

And oh oh oh, I was a king under your control

And oh oh oh, I want to feel like you've let me go

So let me go

[Verse 4]

Don't you remember how I used to like being on the line

I dreamed you dreamed of me, calling out my name

Is it worth the price?

[Verse 5]

Cut cover, take that test

Hold courage to your chest

Don't want to wait for you

Don't want to have to lose

All that I compromised to feel another high

I've got to keep it down tonight

[Verse 6]

And oh oh oh, I was a king under your control

And oh oh oh, I want to feel like you've let me go

[Verse 7]

I had to break myself to carry on

No longer, no admission

Take this from me tonight

Oh let's fight, oh let's fight

Oh let's fight, oh

[Verse 8]

And oh oh oh, I was a king under your control

And oh oh oh, I want to feel like you've let me go

So let me go

[Verse 9]

Let go, let go, let go of everything

Let go, let go, let go of everything

Let go, let go, let go of everything

Let go, let go, let go of everything
