made a wrong turn
once or twice
dug my way out
blood and fire
bad decisions
that's alright
welcome to my
silly life
the snow glows white on the mount tonight
not a footprint to be seen
a kingdom of isolation
and it looks like i'm the queen
mistreated
misplaced
misunderstood
miss no way, it's all good
it didn't slow me down
the wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
couldn't keep it in heaven knows I've tried
mistaken
always second guessin'
underestimated
look I'm still around

you're so mean
when you talk
about yourself
you were wrong
change the voices
in your head
make them like you
instead
so complicated
look happy, you'll make it
filled with so much hatred
such a tired game
it's enough
I've done all I can think of
chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same

Don't let them in don't let them see
be the good girl you always had to be
conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
well, now they know!

It's funny how some distance
makes everything seem small
and the fears that once controlled me
can't get to me at all!
It's time to see what I can do
to test the limits and break through
no right, no wrong, no rules for me
up here in the cold thin air
I finally can breathe
I know I left a life behind
but I'm too relieved to grieve!
I'm free!

*pretty pretty please
don't you ever ever feel
like you're less than
fuckin' perfect
Let it go!
Let it go!
can't hold it back anymore
let it go!
let it go!
turn my back and slam the door
pretty pretty please
if you ever ever feel
like you're nothin'
you're fuckin' perfect
to me
I don't care what they're going to say
let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway!*

done lookin' for the critics
cause they're everywhere
they don't like my jeans
they don't get my hair
My power flurries through the air
and to the ground
my soul is spiraling
in frozen fractals all around
and one thought crystalizes
like an icy blast
I'm never going back
the past is in the past!
Let it go!
Let it go!
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
let it go!
let it go!
that perfect girl is gone!
Here I'll stand in the light of day!
Let the storm rage on!
I'm standing frozen
in the life I've chosen
you won't find me
the past is so behind me
buried in the snow

*chorus*

Let the storm rage on!
The cold never bothered me anyway.
