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 leavin' and growin' up
mmm
Matilda you talk
of the pain
like it's all alright
But I know that
you feel like a piece
of you's 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 it's 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 leavin' and growin' up
You can see the world
following 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 doin' it
on your own
You're just in time
make your tea
and your toast
You framed
all your posters
and dyed your clothes
ooh
you don't have to g..o
You don't have to go home
oh there's a long
way to g...o
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 g..o
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 doin' 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
