  • Oh, it's time to let it go

    The world's got a funny way of turning round on you
    When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
    Losing faith in everything I thought, I hoped and knew
    Don't sweat it
    Set a false pretense

    Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
    Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
    Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
    Ca-ca-ca-ca-cause you know

    In sacrifice
    False pretense, you'll hurt again
    Stop pretending to deny
    False pretense, you'll hurt again

    All along you know you thought you got the best of me
    You were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
    I cannot believe you claimed you were my family
    Don't sweat it
    Set a false pretense

    Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
    Yeah, and it doesn't seem likely to fade
    Betray, you're not gonna be willing to change
    Ca-ca-ca-ca-cause you know

    In sacrifice
    False pretense, you'll hurt again
    Stop pretending to deny
    False pretense, you'll hurt again
    Guitar

    Oh, it's time to let it go

    I can't seem to understand it
    How you've turned out to be so cold
    You tried but were caught red handed
    Are you happy with your role?

    It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke

    In sacrifice
    False pretense, you'll hurt again
    Stop pretending to deny
    False pretense, you'll hurt again

    So play the game until you run out
    And play the game into my head Writer/s: Ronnie Winter
