Once I woke up in the morning feeling really sad
Because of a love-affair of mine that was about to end
It was autumn and the trees were shaking off their leaves
I sat watching them and suddenly it came to me
That it's not the situation I should regret
If something's over - just shake it off, and forge ahead!
For everything that goes, it makes room for the new
Be it flowers, be it leaves, be it love that's true

You've got to say good-bye to the past
Don't hold it, let it go!
Make room for the new
And it will come for sure!
You've got to say goodbye to the past
Just let it go!
Once and for all for you don't need it anymore!

The next morning when I woke up, I felt completely free
Knowing every single road that was open to me
I could choose what to do, and also when and where and why
Just the thought of it made me smile
Yes, it's not the situation I should regret
The love is over, so shake it off, and forge ahead!
For everything that goes, it makes room for the new
Be it flowers, be it leaves, be it love that's true

You've got to say good-bye to the past
Don't hold it, let it go!
Make room for the new
And it will come for sure!
You've got to say goodbye to the past
Just let it go!
Once and for all for you don't need it anymore!

You've got to say good-bye to the past
Don't hold it, let it go!
Make room for the new
And it will come for sure!
You've got to say goodbye to the past
Just let it go!
Once and for all for you don't need it anymore!

If you gotta say good-bye to the past
Don't hold it, let it go!
Man, make room for the new!
And it will come for sure!
You've got to say goodbye to the past
Just let it go!
Once and for all cause you don't need it anymore!
