Pierced in the heart by a sinister dark Thrown from and insecure tongue Unaware of the arrow sticking out of her chest Embedded when she was so young I never would have thought That the poison would rot Away and away and away, it eats at her pride And she constantly hides, afraid of what others will say And often at night she turns out the light Anxiously waiting for sleep The world of her dreams is better it seems There she can finally be free But the arrow it stays, it's there when she wakes Binding her feet to the ground Perpetually holding her back from her goals A mountain she can't get around Let it go, dear And let your worries fall Let it go, dear Nothing to fear at all Let it go, dear Now she is old, her body is cold Alone in the bed as she cries Nobody visits and tells her how alone She quietly closes her eyes Through all of her days, arrows remain Never permitting release And with her last breath she is waiting for death Hoping for peace Let it go, dear And let your worries fall Let it go, dear Nothing to fear at all Let it go, dear Let it go, dear
