Lyrics Marina & The Diamonds – The Art Of Letting Go

I’ve been treading water ever since my feelings changed
I fell out of order, didn’t feel the same
Looking in the mirror, didn’t recognise my face
The painted on facanes, slipping out of place

I’ve been trying trying trying
To go back to who I was
But I’d be lying lying lying
To myself but at what cost

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
Swallowed up by a black…
Swallowed up by a black ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole
Ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole

I’m not giving up I’m finally letting go
I didn’t know there was an art to letting go

I’ve been turning metal, heavy metal into gold
Baptised by the fire, just so I can grow
Pushing out the concrete, pushing like a stubborn rose
Now that I’m in bloom all my colours show

I’ve been trying trying trying
To go back to who I was
But I’d be lying lying lying
To myself but at what cost

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
Swallowed up by a black…
Swallowed up by a black ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole (Let go)
Ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole

I’m not giving up I’m finally letting go
I didn’t know there was an art to letting go

Now I’ve got the freedom
No need to be sad
Everything I wanted
I already have
I just didn’t know
There was an art to letting go
I just didn’t know
There was an art to letting go
I just didn’t know
There was an art to letting go
I just didn’t know
There was an art to letting go

I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
Swallowed up by a black…
Swallowed up by a black ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole (Let go)
Ho-o-o-o-o-o-ole…

I’m not giving up I’m finally letting go
I didn’t know there was an art to letting go
