Holding you is like holding fire
And it burns my hands
And it leaves me tired
And it makes me run
Trying to find some cover
This pain that comes with being your lover
You push me back
And you lead me on
And you make me feel
Like this is all wrong

You've gotta learn how to let things go
Start living without fear
Be willing to fall down
There's so much love here
You've gotta learn how to let things be
Believe in what you feel
Relax and know that love
Will set you free my dear

Holding you is like cupping water
Inside my hands and it's getting harder
To show you all of the love inside me
Wherever I am you're not with me
You push me back
And you pull me down
And you choke the words
Inside my heart

You've gotta learn how to let things go
Start living without fear
Be willing to fall down
There's so much love here
You've gotta learn how to let things be
Believe in what you feel
Relax and know that love
Will set you free my dear

You've gotta learn how to let things go
Start living without fear
Be willing to fall down
There's so much love here
You've gotta learn how to let things be
Believe in what you feel
Relax and know that love
Will set you free my dear
