    Let It Go

    by: Tynisha Keli

    verse1
    i took down the pictures of you and me
    and i changed the locks on my door
    don't wanna see your name on my phone when it rings
    and i don't dream about you no more
    ( i can't believe)
    i held on for so long
    knowing that you moved on
    the only thing that's left for me to do is
    Hook-
    Let It Go
    Movin on
    feelins gone
    i can see the light now
    I'm free from all the pain that comes with lovin ya
    Let It Go
    Took control
    now i know
    my future's starting right now
    i finally closed that book forevers gone its over now
    verse2
    it broke my heARt to watch you through it all away
    There was nothing i wanted more
    devastated waited patiently
    only to find i'm over it
    don't die without you no more
    (now i'm free)
    from all the lies you told
    now that i'm on my own
