Been a prisoner of the past
Had a bitterness when I looked back
Was telling everyone, "It's not that bad"
'Til all my shit hit the fan

I know I'm always like
Telling everybody, "You don't gotta be a victim"
Life ain't always fair, but hell is living in resentment
Choose redemption, your happy ending's up to you

I think it's time to practice what I preach
Exorcise the demons inside me
Whoa-oh-oh, gotta learn to let it go
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Live and learn and never forget it
Whoa-oh-oh, gotta learn to let it go

Had a boogeyman under my bed
Putting crazy thoughts inside my head
Always whispering, "It's all your fault"
He was telling me, "No, you're not that strong"

I know I'm always like
Telling everybody, "You don't gotta be a victim"
Life ain't always fair, but hell is living in resentment
Choose redemption, your happy ending's up to you

So I think it's time to practice what I preach
Exorcise the demons inside me
Whoa-oh-oh, gotta learn to let it go
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Live and learn and never forget it
Whoa-oh-oh, gotta learn to let it go

Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah (learn to let go, learn to let go)
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah (learn to let go, learn to let go)

I'm done reliving my bad decisions
I see now, maybe there's a reason why-y-y-y-y-y
I've been through hell and back
Yeah, honestly, it's all made me who I am
Holding onto wasted ti-i-i-i-i-ime
Gotta learn to let go in life

So I think it's time to practice what I preach
Exorcise the demons inside me
Whoa-oh-oh, gotta learn to let it go
The past can't haunt me if I don't let it
Live and learn and never forget it
Whoa-oh-oh, gotta learn to let it go (hey)

Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah (hey)
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah (learn to let go, learn to let go)
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah (hey)
Hey-eh-eh-eh, yeah (learn to let go, learn to let go)
