She's alone outside the nightclub
Spirit broken crying makeup
Chest to knees she sits in silence
Can't go back now won't go back now
He's just passing through the walkway
Just another lonely Friday
Til he sees her lost and hopeless

Got to save her won't betray her
"Do you have a place to stay?"
He says with a smiling face
"If you don't just come with me instead."
Fighting back all of her tears
She lets out all of her fears

Like a wave of pure emotion she says
"Every day my boyfriend hurts me
Beats me down his words could kill me
Can you tell me something I don't know?
Tell me how to let go."
Tell me how to let go
Tell me how to let go
In his arms, she finds her comfort

Weeks go by and now they're lovers
Nothing of the past is spoken
Moving on now, pain is gone now
‘Til the night they leave the nightclub
There's the boyfriend from her breakup
Sitting on the dirty sidewalk
Got to face him to erase him

They can recognize his face
Blurry eyes all full of rage
He looks up at them and shakes his head
Fighting back all of his tears
He lets out all of his fears
Like a wave of pure emotion he says

"Every day my father hurts me
Beats me down till I just can't breath
Can you tell me something I don't know?
Tell me how to let go."
Tell me how to let go
Tell me how to let go
Tell me how to let go
Tell me how to let go
