| I know it hurts sometimes but you just gotta take a step
 | 
| Ain’t no one gonna hear ya havin' pity on yourself
 | 
| If he hurts you three times don’t go signin' up for four
 | 
| I know you’re tired of being the poster girl for the woman’s scorn
 | 
| When the pain is shame that the family gave you from the start
 | 
| Don’t let the pain change the goodness of your heart
 | 
| Try again, trust again, you’ll live again
 | 
| Tell me are you listenin'
 | 
| You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
 | 
| Just can’t carry that load (you just can’t carry the load)
 | 
| You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
 | 
| Just so your heart can be free again
 | 
| You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
 | 
| Just can’t carry that load (you just can’t carry the load)
 | 
| You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
 | 
| Just so your soul is at peace again (give it to god)
 | 
| I don’t think we understand why we gotta go through
 | 
| Distracted by people, things and money but was has it done for you
 | 
| And if you love yourself as much as you loved him
 | 
| You’d have so much more in your heart and your soul to give
 | 
| If you need a place to find yourself whole again
 | 
| The door is open why don’t you come on in
 | 
| Just take a look around you; | 
| just know that love surround you
 | 
| You can put it all behind you
 | 
| You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
 | 
| Just can’t carry that load (you just can’t carry the load)
 | 
| You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
 | 
| Just so your heart can be clean' again
 | 
| You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
 | 
| Just can’t carry that load (you just can’t carry the load)
 | 
| You gotta let it go (you gotta let it go)
 | 
| Just so your soul is at peace again (give it to god)
 | 
| God will handle it, oh
 | 
| (God will handle it, well) |
