Matilda Lyrics

You were riding your bike
To the sound of it′s no big deal
And you're trying to lift off the ground
On those old two wheels

Nothing ′bout the way
That you were treated
Ever seemed especially alarming till now
So you tie up your hair
And you smile like it's no big deal


You can let it go
You can throw a party
Full of everyone you know
And not invite your family
'Cause they never showed you love
You don′t have to be sorry for
Leaving and growing up, mmm

Matilda, you talk of the pain
Like it′s all alright
But I know that you feel
Like a piece of you is dead inside
You showed me a power
That is strong enough to
Bring sun to the darkest days
It's none of my business
But its just been on my mind

You can let it go
You can throw a party
Full of everyone you know
And not invite your family
′Cause they never showed you love
You don't have to be sorry
For leaving and growing up

You can see the world
Followin′ the seasons
Anywhere you go
You don't need a reason
′Cause they never showed you love
You don't have to be sorry
For doing it on your own

You're just in time
Make your tea and your toast
I framed all your posters
And dyed your clothes, ooh
You don′t have to go
You don′t have to go home
Oh there's a long way to go

I don′t believe that time
Will change your mind
In other words I know
They won't hurt you anymore
As long as you can let them go

You can let it go
You can throw a party
Full of everyone you know
You can start a family
Who will always show you love
You don′t have to be sorry
For doing it on your own

You can let it go
You can throw a party
Full of everyone you know
You can start a family
Who will always show you love
You don't have to be sorry, no
