[Verse 1]
I see you holding it, all the baggage
Of a broken heart and the damage
That you don't talk about, you don't unpack it
Stiff upper lip is how you manage
The midnights crying in the bathroom
When the taillights faded outta your view
Nobody wants to, but sometimes you have to

[Chorus]
Let it hurt, let it burn, let yourself be a wreck
You gotta let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let 'em out, let 'em fall 'til your mascara's a mess
You gotta let 'em go, let 'em go, and let the tears do the work
You gotta let it hurt
You gotta let it hurt

[Verse 2]
I see you rising up, corner office
'Til the boss makes you feel like nothing
I see you give it all, you're exhausted
Losing it in a list of excuses
You didn't call your mom on her birthday
You didn't find a pew last Sunday
Nobody wants to, but sometimes you have to
[Chorus]
Let it hurt, let it burn, let yourself be a wreck
You gotta let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let 'em out, let 'em fall 'til your mascara's a mess
You gotta let 'em go, let 'em go, and let the tears do the work
You gotta let it hurt
You gotta let it hurt

[Bridge]
It's okay to not be okay (Be okay)
To get through it you, gotta go through it
And let it hurt

[Chorus]
Let it hurt, let it burn, let yourself be a wreck
You gotta let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let 'em out, let 'em fall 'til your mascara's a mess
You gotta let 'em go, let 'em go, and let the tears do the work
You gotta let it hurt
You gotta let it hurt
