Verse 1
Verse 1 Been thumbing through paperbacks at 2 a.m.
Highlighter bleeding through every page again
"Find your peace," "Set yourself free,"
Every guru's got a fix for me
I was feeling was down and weary
Til I read the "Let Them Theory"
A New York Times bestseller, thought this one might finally set me right...
Yeah, it did — just not the way the author writes
Pre-Chorus
They say the first step is don't fight it, go on and "let them" be...
You take a deep breath in...
And the second step is my favorite, it's the part called "let me"
Verse 2
Yeah, he slipped out late, said he needed space
Found his truck parked at her place
My best friend's porch light glowing like a sin
Guess they both let each other in
Book says don't react, just "let them" be................
They showed you who they are, now set 'em free.................
But if they get to do whatever they please…
That second step applies to me
Pre Chorus Best way to get over a man........ is to get under another
Let me go hit up his best friend..... or maybe is baby brother
Chorus I'm gonna let them talk, let them run, let them do me wrong
Let them think I'll just roll along..............
I'm gonna stand tall, hold my head high, and smile unafraid
I'm gonna let them burn every bridge they made
You can let them all day long and that's just fine by me
But that "let me" second part is gonna set me free
If I am gonna let them, I am sure as hell gonna let me
Verse 3
I built the blueprint, line by line
He stamped his name across my design
Took my voice, changed the tone
Sold my truth like it was his own
A suit and tie can’t hide a lie
Of a hollow man with a stolen sky
Verse 4
I ain't the kind that just lets it slide
Imma woman and I've got pride
Yeah I can let go, yeah I can leave
But don't confuse that with naïve
I might let 'em walk like they got free…
But that second step belongs to me
Bridge
They can take, they can break, they can walk on me
They can write their truth like a prophecy
You can wear the crown, play the part
But you can’t rewrite where it starts
Final Chorus
I'm gonna let them talk, let them run, let them do me wrong
Let them think I'll just roll along
I'm gonna stand tall, hold my head high, and smile unafraid
I'm gonna let them burn every bridge we made
You can let them all day long and that's just fine by me
But that "let me" second part is gonna set me free
If I am gonna let them, I am sure as hell gonna let me.............
