Get your head off that pillow
It's too middle-of-the-day
To play the weeper or wallow
Don't be like the worst of us
And drown in such sorrow
You and I were not made for the sea

You can mute all those voices
Telling you your time is up
Because you made some bad choices
How the hell are you to learn
Without stuffing some up
Sailing wasn't meant to be smooth

[Chorus]
Let go, stop holding on
This thick skin is wearing you down
If you let this linger
Then finger by finger
Your heart will be worn to the bone

Walking talking frustration
Yeah, haul your head along the ground
Throwing punches through water
Is tiresome and indiscreet
And when you're running low on reasons
You know you were not made for the sea

[Chorus]
Let go, stop holding on
This thick skin is wearing you down
If you let this linger
Then finger by finger
Your heart will be worn to the bone, yeah

When nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing is fixed or for certain
When nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing is making you content
Free up some space in your head
Focus on the clear cut instead
Pain is a dangerous thing so just love that

[Chorus]
Let go, stop holding on
This dark room is closing the door
While you're busy dreaming
The soul inside's screaming
Don't wear my heart down to the bone

[Chorus]
Let go, stop holding on
This thick skin is wearing you down
When real love comes calling
And you're busy bawling
Your heart will be worn
Your heart will be worn
Your heart will be worn
Your heart will be worn
How can they love you
When your heart has been worn to the bone
