[Verse]
Last time we talked, you were very mean
You did not have anything positive to say
Messed up, broke down, is what I had seen
Your words, spoken in a very hurtful way
[verse]
You had berated and degraded me
I was left in an indescribable shock
What the hell do you want me to be
Can’t you be mature and just talk
[chorus]
Why do you put me down? (Let go)
What did I ever say to you? (Let free)
I have not made a sound (Let go)
When why what where who? (Let be)
[verse]
The nastiness that rolled off your tongue
Wow! I could not believe my own ears
Don’t you remember when we were young
It has been a long time, let’s call it years
[verse]
Do you live with a chip on your shoulder
Carrying untruths and a basket of lies
The burden is like a giant boulder
Keeping us from reaching the skies
[chorus]
Why do you put me down? (Let go)
What did I ever say to you? (Let free)
I have not made a sound (Let go)
When why what where who? (Let be)
[bridge]
Let go of what you have been told
Find out the truth for yourself
Let go of what you have been sold
Find out the truth for yourself
[chorus]
Why do you put me down? (Let go)
What did I ever say to you? (Let free)
I have not made a sound (Let go)
When why what where who? (Let be)
[chorus]
Why do you put me down? (Let go)
What did I ever say to you? (Let free)
I have not made a sound (Let go)
When why what where who? (Let be)
[chorus]
Why do you put me down? (Let go)
What did I ever say to you? (Let free)
I have not made a sound (Let go)
When why what where who? (Let be)
