I should have known
That I'm nothing on my own
Still I am prone
To learn things the hard way
But if I have shown a recent change in tone
It's cause I'm starting to see
There's no way I can do this all alone
The whole world's getting heavy to hold
So I'm letting go
The center of the universe is getting old
So I'm giving up control
It's clear to me who you want me to be
And now I know I'm ready to see myself go
So you can take control
Take control
Come captivate my soul
I want to know
What life is lived like your way
I'm letting go
It's you I want to follow
Cause I'm starting to see
You're the only hope I have for tomorrow
The whole world's getting heavy to hold
So I'm letting go
The center of the universe is getting old
So I'm giving up control
It's clear to me who you want me to be
And now I know I'm ready to see myself go
So you can take control
All along I've been looking at this wrong
You're showing me now I can see
That I am weak but you're strong
When I'm weak you are strong
And I need your strength so I can carry on
The whole world's getting heavy to hold
So I'm letting go
The center of the universe is getting old
So I'm giving up control
It's clear to me who you want me to be
And now I know I'm ready to see myself go
Because I know
I can't hold on
I'm not that strong
I've tried it now for much too long
I think it's time to give up so
I'm letting go
You take control
