After recording this, I decided to rewrite the lyrics in the bridge/middle eight. But I'm going to go ahead and post this with the original lyrics.
lyrics
The Year of Letting Go
Have I worn it in the last year? For that matter, even two
The drawer that it’s in barely shuts.
Will I miss it if it’s gone? Not sure it even fits,
Feels like it’s time to move on. Let it go.
CHORUS: Oh, it’s the year of letting go
Oh, it’s the year of letting go
Do I even know this person that shows up on my feed
Guess they friended me some time back.
We don’t have much in common, and they seem to be a drag
No reason not to give them the sack. Let ‘em go.
CHORUS
BRIDGE: If something doesn’t serve you, it just needs to be gone.
If someone doesn’t love you, no sense in hanging on.
(Instrumental on Chorus changes)
Always said I’d fix it someday, but someday never comes
I’ve only got so many somedays left
It’s taking up space in my shed and in my head
Leaving it on the curb suits me best. Let it go.
