MARINA The Art of Letting Go

I’ve been treading water ever since my feelings changed

I fell out of order, didn’t feel the same

Looking in the mirror, didn’t recognise my face

Painted on facades slipping out of place

 

I’ve been trying, trying, trying

To go back to who I was

But I’d be lying, lying, lying

To myself but at what cost?

 

I surrender all control

And everything I think I know

(And everything I think I know)

I’ve been high and I’ve been low

Swallowed up by a, swallowed up by a black hole

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh

I’m not giving up

I’m finally letting go

I didn’t know there was an art to letting go

 

I’ve been turning metal, heavy metal into gold

Baptised by the fire, just so I can grow

Pushing out the concrete, pushing like a stubborn rose

Now that I’m in bloom all my colours show

 

I’ve been trying, trying, trying

To go back to who I was

But I’d be lying, lying, lying

To myself but at what cost?

 

I surrender all control

And everything I think I know

I’ve been high and I’ve been low

Swallowed up by a, swallowed up by a black hole

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh

(Let go)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh

I’m not giving up

I’m finally letting go

I didn’t know there was an art to letting go

 

Now I’ve got the freedom, no need to be sad

Everything I wanted, I already had

I just didn’t know-oh there was an art to letting go

I just didn’t know-oh there was an art to letting go

I just didn’t know-oh (I just didn’t know-oh)

There was an art to letting go

I just didn’t know-oh (I just didn’t know-oh)

There was an art to letting go

 

I surrender all control

And everything I think I know

I’ve been high and I’ve been low

Swallowed up by a, swallowed up by a black hole

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh

(Let go)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh

(Let go)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh

To go back to who I was

(Let go)

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oh

To myself but at what cost?

I’m not giving up, I’m finally letting go

I didn’t know there was an art to letting go
