I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
That you've got to let it go

I've got to tell you
That it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
That you've got to let it go

I've got to tell you
That it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
That you've got to let it go

I'm believin' too much
In all the stuff in my head
It's a hassle in the mornin'
To get up outta bed
I'm holdin' on to secrets
That are too hard to see
And I'm thinking everybody
Is a-better than me
I try to keep doing
What I think I gotta do
If I make a mistake
You're gonna think I'm a fool
I'm always back again
To the point where I began
I'm afraid I need help
Don't offer your hand

I know, you know
They know, we know
I don't know nothin'
But I gotta keep bluffin'
I'm thinking, they're thinking
You're thinking I'll drink
Feelin' so confused
That I think I wanna sink
It's so hard to talk
When you're walking in shock
It's so hard to see
When you're pretending you're free
Don't know how to give
And I've had all I can take
Everybody's to blame
When you can't play the game

I've got to tell you
That it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
That you've got to let it go

I've got to tell you
That it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
That you've got to let it go

I've been namin' and a-gamin'
And a-framin' and a-blamin'
It's a pattern I've been weaving
For a long long time
It's hard to begin
But surrender means win
And it certainly is better
Than losing your mind
I know that you've been thinking
I've been talkin' 'bout me
I made it that way
For a purpose you see
Scatman's really only
Tryin' to get through
To help you discover
He be talkin' 'bout you

The things that hold me back
Are right here in my head
The saboteur, can't endure
He has to go to bed
I want to live life
In spite of what I think
I think that my opinion
Should be thrown to the sink
I wanna do better
But I don't know how
But if I'm gonna start
I better start right now
I try to survive and
I've gotta let you know
If I want to live at all
I gotta gotta let go

If I want to live at all
I gotta gotta let go

I've got to tell you
That it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
That you've got to let it go

I've got to tell you
That it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
That you've got to let it go

I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
That you've got to let it go

I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
I've got to tell you
I want to tell you

If I want to live at all
I gotta gotta let go
