  • Let It Go

    So sit back and relax and just watch the show Just let it go, just let it go Though we wait for the verdict in the time we will know Just where we'll go, just where we'll go You said you loved me so why don't you care? Seems like you solved this so why aren't you here? I'm so unnoticed out in the cold I still like romance so leave me alone In this town all the children have gone out to war But what is it for, but what is it for All the lies they've been told bring them close to the edge They fight in despair they fight in despair You said you loved me so why don't you care?
