I'm drowning in the shallow waters
And I'm trying so hard to reach the top
Something so pure, in the air to catch
I can see it above me

A breathe of freedom (release me)
A choice to change
A new direction (release me)
I feel so trapped (let me go)

And as the sunlight tries to guide me
I keep pretending there's nothing there
And now I'm so deep
No where near the end
And I keep going down, so down

I begin to see the person (release me)
Holding me, is me
Let it go (release me)
Let it go (oooh, ooh)
(Release me)

I can't fight it (I can't fight it)
And I won't deny it (I won't deny it)
As times go by
I'll remember

That it's me who holds the key

Let me go (release me)
Let me go (release me)
(Release me, yeah)
