my troubles in an overnight bag
And I drove them up to Maine
Sat on a cliff by the edge of the ocean
and I laid them out again
Yeah, I sat and laid them all out again
I knew I had this thing all wrong
I had this crazy thing all wrong
Cause it's only when you let go
Only when you open up your heart
Looking for a game to ease my pain
And altered my perception of reality
And I waited for peace once more
I sat and I waited for peace once more
But peace it did not come that night
Just a hollow and silent stare
I would find no comfort there
No, I would find no comfort there
It's only when you let it go
Only when you open up your heart
It's only when you let it all go
Only when you open up your heart
That the meaning comes rolling slowly in
Lord knows that I know how
The pain, it could kill me if I get a chance
I know all about that now
I know too much about that now
It's only when you let go
Only when you open up your heart
That the meaning comes rolling slowly in,
It's only when you let it all go
Only when you open up your heart
That the meaning comes rolling slowly in,
It's only when you let go,
only when you open up your heart
That the meaning of love is slowly
