MARINA - The Art of Letting Go lyrics

I’ve been treading water ever
Since my feelings changed
I fell out of order, didn’t feel the same
Looking in the mirror
Didn’t recognize my face
The painted on facade, slipping out of place

I’ve been trying, trying, trying
To go back to who I was
But, I’d be lying, lying, lying
To myself but at what cost

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
Swallowed up by a black ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole
Ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole
I’m not giving up, I’m finally letting go

I’ve been turning metal
Heavy metal into gold
Baptized by the fire, just so I can grow
Pushing at the concrete
Pushing like a stubborn rose
Now that I’m in bloom, all my colors show

I’ve been trying, trying, trying
To go back to who I was
But, I’d be lying, lying, lying
To myself but at what cost

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
Swallowed up by a black
Ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole (let go) ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole
I’m not giving up, I’m finally letting go

Now I’ve got the freedom, no need to be sad
Everything I wanted, I already had
I just didn’t know oh there was
An art to letting go
I just didn’t know oh there was
An art to letting go i just didn’t know oh
(I just didn’t know oh)
There was an art to letting go
I just didn’t know oh
(I just didn’t know oh)
There was an art to letting go

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
Swallowed up by a black
Ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole (let go) ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole
I’m not giving up, I’m finally letting go
I didn't know there was an art to letting go
