[Intro]
Ohhh
Ohhh
[verse]
Is not a question of love
Cause our love has never changed
But all the little thinks keep pilling up
And life keeps getting in the way
[chorus]
Don't make it harder than it is
We both knew it come to this
Better now than in a year 
We're not so cheesy and we both hate each other
The fuse is already left, so how about a final case
Just let it go...
And stop the madness before it explodes
Before is out of our control
Lets stop the madness before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes
[verse]
Somethings we wont understand
And we're both so tired of being this understood
So lets just turn around and walk away
And hold on to what was got
[chorus]
Don't make it harder than it is
We both knew it come to this
Better now than in a year 
We're not so cheesy and we both hate each other
The fuse is already left, so how about a final case
Just let it go...
And stop the madness before it explodes
Before is out of our control
Lets stop the madness before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes
[bridge]
There ain't nothing that can save us
But you're close to the edge
And what's the use of going on
If we're lying to etch other
Every word that is said
Its too late for us now 
Cause we can never count down
Its getting close
Its gonna blow
[chorus]
Stop the madness before it explodes
Before is out of our control
Lets stop the madness before it explodes
We gotta let it go
Before it all explodes
Gotta stop the madness ohhh
Five, four, three two, one...
