Let it Go - The Lonely Forest

Pierced in the heart by a sinister dark

Thrown from and insecure tongue

Unaware of the arrow sticking out of her chest

Embedded when she was so young

I never would have thought

That the poison would rot

Away and away and away, it eats at her pride

And she constantly hides, afraid of what others will say

And often at night she turns out the light

Anxiously waiting for sleep

The world of her dreams is better it seems

There she can finally be free

But the arrow it stays, it’s there when she wakes

Binding her feet to the ground

Perpetually holding her back from her goals

A mountain she can’t get around

Let it go, dear

And let your worries fall

Let it go, dear

Nothing to fear at all

Let it go, dear

Now she is old, her body is cold

Alone in the bed as she cries

Nobody visits and tells her how alone

She quietly closes her eyes

Through all of her days, arrows remain

Never permitting release

And with her last breath she is waiting for death

Hoping for peace

Let it go, dear

And let your worries fall

Let it go, dear

Nothing to fear at all

Let it go, dear

Let it go, dear
