You were ridin' your bike to the sound of 'It's No Big Deal' And you're tryin' to lift off the ground on those old two wheels Nothin' 'bout the way that you were treated ever seemed especially alarming 'til now So you tie up your hair and you smile like it's no big deal

You can let it go You can throw a party full of everyone you know And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love You don't have to be sorry for leavin' and growin' up, mm Matilda, you talk of the pain like it's all alright But I know that you feel like a piece of you's dead inside

You showed me a power that is strong enough to bring sun to the darkest days It's none of my business but it's just been on my mind

You can let it go You can throw a party full of everyone you know And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love You don't have to be sorry for leavin' and growin' up

You can see the world Followin' the seasons anywhere you go You don't need a reason 'cause they never showed you love
You don't have to be sorry for doin' it on your own You're just in time, make your tea and your toast You framed all your posters and dyed your clothes, ooh

You don't have to go, you don't have to go home Oh, there's a long way to go I don't believe that time will change your mind In other words, I know they won't hurt you anymore As long as you can let them go You can let it go

You can throw a party full of everyone you know You can start a family who will always show you love You don't have to be sorry for doin' it on your own You can let it go You can throw a party full of everyone you know You can start a family who will always show you love You don't have to be sorry, no
