A room full of sadness A broken heart And only me to blame For every single part No Science or Religion Could make this whole To be loved, but never loved To have, but never hold It’s a life alone, and a desperate need To be held to be loved so This is gonna take a bit of getting used to, But I know what’s right for you Fly high and let me go That sky will save your soul When you pass by then you’ll know That this gonna take a bit of getting used to But I know what’s right for you Let me go A head full of madness And no where safe When tears aren’t big enough, And love turns into hate It’s a life alone, and a desperate need To be held to be loved so This gonna take a bit of getting used to But I know what’s right for you Fly high and let me go That sky will save your soul When you pass by then you’ll know That this gonna take a bit of getting used to But I know what’s right for you So let me go life will get better Find the love I never gave ya I know you lie there waiting all night long, So find where you belong Fly high and let me go (Let me go) That sky will save your soul (Let it save your soul tonight) Fly high and let me go (Let me go let me go) That sky will save your soul But this gonna take a bit of getting used to But I know what’s right for you Let me go
