The city lights begin to dim
The dread is setting in
And so her show begins
Let out the noise

She woos the crowd with all her grace
The smile on her face
She wants to have a taste
You don’t have a choice

I think you’ve given in
Your thoughts are spiraling
Your body’s trembling
This is your reality
The moment you locked eyes
She had you hypnotized
No use in fightin’
In a mind game

Now you’re under a spell
This isn’t going well
You scream and shout
But sorry, there ain’t no way out
So make yourself at home
You have no place to go
Or so she says
It’s just a mind game

So won’t you let me take control
To all those weary souls:
You belong to me
It’s time to finally let it go
You’re searching for that saving grace
Beyond these noisy gates
There’s no happy ending
Why not simply let it go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Deep in the city was a flicker
A faint but hopeful glimmer
A reason left to fight
“Take back the night”

Familiar voices call your name
“Your heart’s not hers to claim”
You have to this game
“Take back the night!”

This madness has to stop
Let’s take it from the top
Hard to believe
But this is all a fantasy
It’s gonna take some time
But one day you’ll be fine
So let’s escape this hellish mind game

So many twists and turns
I know its got to hurt
This life is rough
But part of you is looking up
So throw away that shame
You’re not the one to blame
Stand up and fight
“It’s just a mind game”

There’s nothing more the world can do
Your only friend is you
Let’s face the facts, my dear
It’s time to let it go
You tried your best, now rest your eyes
Embrace the lonely nights
Sit back, relax, unwind
And please enjoy the show

I’m sorry that I let you down
I spent my whole life swimming just to drown
I’ll make it up to you
And lock myself away for good
I’ll dive into the noise
Wouldn’t that be nice?

I think you’ve given in
You’re finally getting it
Ain’t it amazing?
Welcome to reality
The moment you locked eyes
She had you hypnotized
No use in fightin’
In her mind game

So many twists and turns
I know it’s got to hurt
This life is rough
Don’t be so quick to give it up
We’ll take it day by day
Repeat these words I say:
Stand up and fight
“It’s just a mind game”

So won’t you let me take control
To all those weary souls:
You belong to me
It’s time to finally let it go
You’re searching for that saving grace
Beyond these noisy gates
There’s no happy ending
Why not simply let it go

There’s nothing more the world can do
Your only friend is you
Let’s face the facts, my dear
It’s time to let it go
You tried your best, now rest your eyes
Embrace the lonely nights
Sit back, relax, unwind
And please enjoy the show
