[Verse 1]
I've got too much pressure building
Sometimes life's so unfulfilling
How much can we bend before we break
Empty airless conversation
Overwrought with my frustrations
Pull the panic cord, need to escape
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall, will I feel, some more, something real (Something real)
Breaking down, breaking out, from the thoughts, from the doubt (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Don't hold your breath, gotta let it go
Dive deeper in, into the unknown
If you don't try then you'll never know
So take a breath, just take a breath
And let it all go, go, let it all go
Let it go, let it go
[Verse 2]
The world is lacking in emotion
So caught up in the commotion
Always reaching out for something more
Hunted by the fear of fading
Losing sight of what we're craving
Makes me wonder what we're waiting for
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall, will I feel, some more, something real (Something real)
Breaking down, breaking out, from the thoughts, from the doubt (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Don't hold your breath, gotta let it go
Dive deeper in, into the unknown
If you don't try then you'll never know
So take a breath, just take a breath
And let it all go, go, let it all go
Let it go, let it go
[Bridge]
Leave your troubles in yesterday
Don't worry you will be OK
Whenever you feel afraid
Just let it go (Let it go)
[Chorus]
Don't hold your breath, gotta let it go
Dive deeper in, into the unknown
If you don't try then you'll never know
So take a breath, just take a breath
And let it all go, go, let it all go
Let it go, let it go (Oh)
