[Verse 1]
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 recognize my face
The painted on facade, slipping out of place

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
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

[Verse 2]
I’ve been turning metal, heavy metal into gold
Baptized by the fire, just so I can grow
Pushing at the concrete, pushing like a stubborn rose
Now that I’m in bloom, all my colors show
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
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

[Bridge]
Now I’ve got the freedom, no need to be sad
Everything I wanted, I already had
I just didn’t know-oh there was an art to letting go
I just didn’t know-oh there was an art to letting go
I just didn’t know-oh (I just didn’t know-oh), there was an art to letting go
I just didn’t know-oh (I just didn’t know-oh), there was an art to letting go

[Chorus]
I surrender all control
And everything I think I know
I’ve been high and I’ve been low
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
