[Verse 1]
It's not a question of love
'Cause our love has never changed
But all the little things keep piling up
And life keeps getting in the way

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't make it harder than it is
We both knew it'd come to this
Better now than in a year
More nights of tears
And we both hate each other, the fuse is already lit
So how about a final kiss?

[Chorus]
And just let it go
And stop the madness before it explodes
Before it's out of our control

Let's stop the madness before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes

[Verse 2]
Some things we won't understand
And we're both so tired of being misunderstood
So let's just turn around and walk away
And hold on to what was good

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't make it harder than it is
We both knew it'd come to this
Better now than in a year
More nights of tears
And we both hate each other, the fuse is already lit
So how about a final kiss?

[Chorus]
And just let it go
And stop the madness before it explodes
Before it's out of our control

Let's stop the madness before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes

[Bridge]
There ain't nothing that can save us
Too close to the edge
And what's the use of going on
If we're lying to each other
Every word that is said
It's too late for us now
Cause we can hear the count down
It's getting close, it's gonna blow

[Chorus]
And just let it go
And stop the madness before it explodes
Before it's out of our control

Let's stop the madness before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes

[Chorus]
Stop the madness before it explodes
Before it's out of our control
Let's stop the madness before it explodes

We gotta let it go
Before it explodes
We gotta stop the madness
