Take down those pictures in the frames   They’ve got you trapped now   Locked in a past with no escape   Unless you break out   Burn all those letters in a flame   That the tears can’t put out   You can’t afford to play it safe now      Your life is more than what you’ve done   You can’t hold on forever   I hope you know it’s time to let this go      You gotta run from yesterday   Turn away from past mistakes   And leave them all behind   You’re holding on too tight   You gotta run from yesterday   Turn away from past mistakes   And just make up your mind   There is no better time      Jump in and let it wash away   The worst is over   Older and wiser now, not colder      Your life is more than what you’ve done   You can’t hold on forever   I hope you know it’s time to let this go      You gotta run from yesterday   Turn away from past mistakes   And leave them all behind   You’re holding on too tight   You gotta run from yesterday   Turn away from past mistakes   And just make up your mind   There is no better time      So will you run in a new direction?   No, don’t you dare slow down
