I've spent most my life
Holding on with all my might
I pull the reigns too tight
'Til I kill the thing I got
You'd think by now 
I'd have this figured out with everything that we've been through together
Oh, this love can't really fly until I get the courage to cut the string

I'm learning how to let it go
I'm learning now that I was just a fool to ever think I had control
You took me heart and soul
Now I'm learning how to let it, I'm learning how to let it go

I've been wasting time
So I hope somehow you'll find
A way to walk the line
You had so much patience with me
You're the only one I want
You're all I need, so here I am down on my knees
Go on and take me, everything I have and all I am I give to you

I'm learning how to let it go
I'm learning now that I was just a fool to ever think I had control
You took me heart and soul
Now I'm learning how to let it, I'm learning how to let it go

This die-hard heart of mine always forgets
You never have it all unless you let it go

You took me heart and soul
Now I'm learning how to let it
To let it go and get it
I'm learning how to let it
I'm learning how to let it go
