[Verse 1] I left my thoughts on the night bus home, By the fogged-up glass and the fare machine. Your name sat heavy in my coat, Like change in a pocket I don't need. The rain kept time with my heartbeat, On the A-road, by the shuttered shops. A warm jumper, sleeves half-rolled, Still carrying you in the cuffs. [Pre-Chorus] And I kept looking over my shoulder, Like you'd come back from the bend. But the road just folded softly, And the hour stayed where it ends. [Chorus] Let it go, let it go, Leave it by the curb. Let it go, let it go, No need to rehearse. Let the past go, Let the past go, We don't owe it words. [Verse 2] There was a cracked mug in the sink, And a ticket stub on the hall mat. Old songs slept under the stairs, Like things we never really named. I caught myself in the window pane, Half a face and a tired grin. The whole flat felt lighter then, Like someone had let the air back in. [Pre-Chorus] And I kept looking over my shoulder, Like you'd come back from the bend. But the road just folded softly, And the hour stayed where it ends. [Chorus] Let it go, let it go, Leave it by the curb. Let it go, let it go, No need to rehearse. Let the past go, Let the past go, We don't owe it words. [Bridge] There's a back step full of dead leaves, There's a receipt from last July. I folded them into morning, Then watched them leave my eye. Not every door is a promise, Not every bruise means stay. Some things only heal When you stop asking them to stay. [Final Chorus] Let it go, let it go, Leave it by the curb. Let it go, let it go, No need to rehearse. Let the past go, Let the past go, We don't owe it words. Let it go, let it go, Watch it blur and part. Let it go, let it go, There's room now in my heart. Let the past go, Let the past go, And keep the rest of me.
