He's so afraid when they scream,
when they're mean.
She was the star of a life

that ceased to be.
I die in my dreams.
It eats me whole, It eats me whole.

All this sorrow disappears
when I learn to shake this fear
and let it go.


Sue hates Irene
and Irene, she hates Sue.

I know you hate me
it's okay, I hate you too.
Hate is a beast.

It eats me whole, it eats me whole.
'Til I take him by the ears,
turn him 'round, paddle his rear

and let him go.

Let him go, let it go, let it go.

All this anger dissipates
when I come to shake this hate
and let it go.


I've been up high and I've been down low.
But, mostly I've been tired.

I'll tell you, the best thing
I ever did was to let it go.


Let him go, let it go, let it go.
All this anger dissipates
when I finally shake this hate

and let it go.

Let it go, let it go, let it go.

All this sorrow disappears
when I come to shake this fear
and let it go.
