[Verse 1: James Bay]
From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
Nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you

[Pre-Chorus: James Bay]
Now we're sleeping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
And all this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees

[Chorus: James Bay]
So, come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you, oh, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me

[Spoken Word: James Bay]
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Lewis Capaldi
Make some noise

[Verse 2: Lewis Capaldi]
From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?

[Pre-Chorus: Lewis Capaldi]
I used to recognize myself
It's funny how reflections change
When we're becoming something else
I think it's time to walk away

[Chorus: Lewis Capaldi]
So, come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me

[Verse 3: Lewis Capaldi & James Bay]
I'm going under, and this time, I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know
Somebody to have, somebody to hold
It's easy to say, but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

[Chorus: Lewis Capaldi]
Now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

[Chorus: James Bay]
And then the days bleed and the night falls
And you're not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

[Bridge: James Bay]
Tryna fit your hand inside of mine
When we know it just don't belong
'Cause no force on earth could make it feel right, oh, whoa
And tryna push this problem up the hill
When it's just too heavy to hold
I think now's the time to let it slide

[Breakdown: James Bay & Audience]
Alright, now it's you
Come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
Oh and everything that's broke, yeah, leave it to the breeze
Let the ashes fall, oh, forget about me

[Outro: Lewis Capaldi]
So come on, let it go, just let it be
Why don't you be you, and I'll be me?
And I'll be me

[Spoken Word: James Bay]
Make some noise for Lewis Capaldi
