"You better not speak"
That's what I kept telling myself.
"You're weak,
Just keep
All apologies shelved."
I wish I would have been the bigger man
When I had the chance
But I took my time,
Only to find
My grudge
Far too much to hold
I wish somebody would've told me,
"Sometimes, letting go ain't a bad thing."
I've never heard of holding on setting anyone free.
Everybody knows,
There's still hope, so,

Keep your head way up,
Even when things get rough.
A tragedy I couldn't just ignore
Inspired me.
You are not a stranger
And you're not at fault.
I was a coward who just couldn't find a cause,
Just know that you belong.
And I guess that it's a good thing
You're not like me
You're the victim
I'm the guilty
I wish I would've been the bigger man
Cause now I can't
Take back all the crass remarks that I chose to make
But sometimes, letting go ain't a bad thing
I've never heard of holding on setting anyone free
Keep your head way up,
Even when things get rough.
A tragedy I couldn't just ignore
Inspired me.
You are not a stranger
And you're not at fault.
I was a coward who just couldn't find a cause,
Just know that you belong.

Sometimes letting go ain't a bad thing
I've never heard of holding on bringing anyone peace,
And every body knows.

Keep your head way up,
Even when things get rough.
A tragedy I couldn't just ignore
Inspired me.
You are not a stranger
And you're not at fault.
I was a coward who just couldn't find a cause,
Just know that you belong.
Sometimes, letting go comes with ease
I've never heard of holding on solving anything
(You are not a stranger).
