I get tired of going through things so unnecessary
Get hurt time and time again
By your friends and your family
It hurts so bad sometimes
That you can't sleep at night
But a small voice whispers in your ear
Saying everything will be alright
I'm tired of people close to me
Hurting me; I'm praying let it be
I'm tired of people close to me hurting me; I'm praying let it be
Things got so bad for me, I thought about giving up
Bills, depression, worry, and death
And even in the music industry
But I never forgot what a old man simply said to me
(David Little) you stop to think; you think to stop
Now I'm right back on my feet
(Oh yeah)
Listen, I learned how to dress up
And look good and walk around and smile
I hold back the tears from coming out of my weeping eyes
You loan folks your money
To pay their bills
And invite them to your house
But as soon as
You don't do what they want you to do
They start running their mouth
(Just let it be) let it be, let it be, let it be
Things that happened 20 years ago, let it be
Things that happened with husband and wife.(let it be, let it be)
Things that happened on the streets
Things that happened on your job
Things that happened with your friendships
Things that happened with your family
What you got to do is put it behind you
I'm so tired
I made up in my mind
I'm not gonna keep holding on to old baggage
I'm gonna pray and I'm gonna let it be
I don't know about you
But I'm so tired
Of talking to people that's holding on to bad thoughts
Holding on to bad memories
Holding on to bad relationships
I wanna tell you this, you need to let it go. Let it be
But you still got to love them
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
