Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go now She’s gone, yeah, she’s gone Oh, there's a stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was Yeah, there's ash in the pages, now I've got myself lost I was writing to tell you that my feelings tonight Are a stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye Oh, now she's gone And I'm back on the street A stain on my notebook Says nothing to me Oh, now she's gone And I'm out with a friend With lips full of passion And coffee in bed With the way that you left me, I can hardly contain (Hardly contain) All the hurt and the anger and the joy of the pain (Joy of the pain) Now knowing I'm single, there'll be fire in my eyes (Fire in my eyes) And a stain on my notebook for a new love tonight (New love tonight) Yeah, now she's gone And I'm back on the street A stain on my notebook Says nothing to me Oh, now she's gone And I'm out with a friend With lips full of passion And coffee in bed (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Yeah, now she's gone And I'm back on the street A stain on my notebook Says nothing to me Oh, now she's gone And I'm out with a friend (I’m out with a new friend) With lips full of passion And coffee in bed Oh, from lips without passion to the lips with a kiss There's nothing of your love that I'll ever miss The stain on my notebook is all that's left Of the memories of late night and coffee in bed Of the memory of late night and coffee in bed Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go now Oh, now she's gone (black coffee in bed) Oh, now she's gone (black coffee in bed)
