Dustbowl Revival - Let It Go Lyrics

I've been trying so hard to be
A better version of me
I found that note I wrote
When I was twenty one years old
I thought I'd figured it out

And I still don't know my fate
And maybe I'll never escape
I'm trying to let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

I'm made of the
The ways of my mother
And the ideals of my father
And the spirit of my brother
And the strength of my lover

Well you can't control everything
There's no right way to do anything
And like a bird with a broken wing
I fall

And every time I think I've changed
It all comes back and I'm still the same
I'm trying to let it go...

Mama's got that tape of me
Dancing at twenty three
I still know the fear in those eyes
Waiting to be criticized
Not hearing the cheers

So every night I do my best
Turn the lights on, pass the test
Trying to let it go...

Why is it so hard to make a change?
Break all my patterns and rearrange
All I really want to be
Is all the people that I see
Who wait it out so patiently
So patiently
But I can barely breathe

I'm made of the stones of my hometown
Of all my friends who ain't around no more
And I every song that I sang
In every dive when it's raining out

Well you can't control everything
There's no right way to do anything
And so trying is the only thing
You can do

I'm trying to let it go
I'm trying to let it go
I'm trying to let it go
I'm trying to let it go
