The dogs are howling   Betrayal in the night   But who's the hunter   And who is taking flight   The fever's up now   And blood is on the wind   Consumed by hunger   I'm burning in my skin      What am I doing (I dig my teeth in and I hold on tight)   Playing with fire one more time   Just let it go, girl   Let it fade away   The ones you love   You cannot make them stay   Just let it go, girl   Learn to ride the wind   If you don't   It's gonna break you      You gave no warning   So how could I steer clear   Too late for running   Much too late for fear      What am I doing (I dig my teeth in and I hold on tight)   Playing the victim one more time   Just let it go, girl   Let it fade away   The ones you love   You cannot make them stay   Just let it go, girl   Learn to ride the wind   If you don't   It's gonna break you      I know the river keeps on flowing   But I try to turn the tide   I'm terrified of time and I'd do anything   To have you back here by my side again   So I cling to what I cannot keep   And I cry for what I cannot mend   And I should learn to bend like a reed in the breeze   And take it easy, yeah      Just let it go, girl   Let it fade to black   The ones you leave   You cannot push them back   Just let it go, girl   Learn to ride the wind   If you don't   It's gonna break you   Just let it go, girl   Let it fade away   The ones you love   You know, you cannot make them stay   Just let it go, girl   You gotta learn to ride the wind   If you don't   It's gonna break you   Again
