Let It Be
Embracing Shadows: Matt Berninger's Reflection on Inner Struggles
Lyrics
Some things I cannot hide
There are things I can't keep hidden.
No matter how hard I try
No matter how much effort I put in.
Some things I can't even see
Some things elude my perception entirely.
You say to me let it go
You advise me to release it.
Hey, lighten up a little, take a joke
Hey, try to relax and find humor.
Sometimes I can't let it be
Occasionally, I struggle to let things go.
Sometimes I think that I'm
At times, I believe I'm
My own worst enemy
My own biggest adversary.
Tell me the truth what you say
Tell me the truth, it won't affect me negatively.
It won't bother me either way
It won't trouble me, regardless.
Just tell me what you say about me
Just share what people say about me.
I don't wanna know doesn't matter now
I don't want to know; it's irrelevant now.
Leave it alone try to forget about it
Ignore it, attempt to erase it from memory.
Sometimes I can't let it be
Sometimes, I struggle to let things be.
Sometimes I think that I'm
At times, I feel like
My own worst enemy
I'm my own worst enemy.
Sometimes I can't let it be
Sometimes, I can't let things rest.
One day you'll have to let me take you
Someday, you'll need to allow me to bring you
Back to the place you met me
Back to where we first met.
Three Jacks and two gins later
After consuming alcohol,
We waited for the sun to rise
We waited for daybreak.
Five o'clock in the morning
At five in the morning.
Sixteen billions feet above the ground
Metaphorically, high above the ground.
Sometimes I think that I'm
At times, I think I'm
My own worst enemy
My own greatest foe.
Sometimes I can't let it be
Sometimes, I struggle to let it go.
Sometimes I can't take it
At times, it overwhelms me.
Told me you'd never break it
You assured me it wouldn't shatter.
Sometimes I can't take it
Occasionally, it's unbearable.
Sometimes I can't let it be
Sometimes, I can't allow things to remain.
