Just Let It Go - Pretenders
Composed by:Chrissie Hynde/James Walbourne
Produced by:David Wrench
How many years
Twenty or more
Dedicated was I indebted indentured
Repairing the roof washing the floor
I dreamt of the world but I never ventured
Chains round my ankles locks on the door
The shackles that bound me don't any more
In the end I let it go
Maybe it's best just to let it go
Was I even good at this I'm not even sure
I just did the job and kept my head down
I fooled myself thinking that my aims were pure
A full veil covered the face of a clown
Hooked up to a plough I tilled the earth
I buried a few and to some I gave birth
In the end I let it go
Maybe it's best just to let it go
Our changes came fast but the torments were slow
Let it go let it go
A person a gender a human soul
What kind of career miss the life in a cage
One day I could hear a distant bell toll
Without emotion no jaw on or rage
I took just enough to see me well gone
My tiny space vacant I'd left before dawn
Oh in the end I let it go
Maybe it's best just to let it go
Our changes were fast but the torments were slow
Let it go let it go
I let it go let it go
Let it go let it go
Let it go let it go
