Carey, Mariah - The Art Of Letting Go Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
I'm making a statement of my own opinion
Just a brief little reminder to help myself remember
I no longer live in your dominion (no, no, no, ooh)
You're just trifling, nothing more than a liability
Got a bundle of your possessions
Outside the kitchen window right now

[Chorus:]
Letting go, letting go ain't easy
Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful
'Cause somebody you used to know
Is flinging your world around
And they watch, as you're falling down, down
Falling down, baby

[Verse 2:]
Evidently your words were merely lies
Reverberating in my ears
And the echo won't subside
There's a deep deep loss of hope
And the anger burns in me
I hope you don't get no ideas 'bout re-uniting baby
'Cause that's the last thing I truly need
Your audacity is too much to be believed, so
Go to MiMi on your contacts, press delete

[Chorus:]
Letting go ain't easy
Oh, it's just exceedingly hurtful
'Cause somebody you used to know
Is flinging your world around
And they watch, as you're falling down, down
Falling down, baby

[Bridge:]
Baby letting go, baby letting go
Ain't easy, easy
Baby letting go, baby letting go (woah)
Ain't easy, Ain't easy
Noooo

[Outro/Chorus:]
Baby letting go, it ain't easy
'Cause somebody you used to know
Is flinging your world around
And you know what?
They watch as you're falling, as you're falling
Down
Fall
It ain't easy baby

  12. A.... A....

    Mariah carey I am having a very difficult time. I lost my grandma a few days ago and I am suffering  now
    I can't stop crying. I don't know what to do. I will die this way
    My heart hurts so much,I am in pain
    Nobody feels my pain.
    I have no one to tell him I'm going  die
    I feel sorry for myself, I'm broken
    My body is tired and I feel headache and pain all day long
    My head tell me it's my fault. It tell me that I could have prevented her from dying if I were close to her
    I don't know what to do Iam broken Iam dying
    I love her more than Any thing and she loved me too more than her children
    I can't eat I can't sleep I can't breathe I hate home
    Your songs saved my life many times but know I don't know what to do it's too hard...
    This song make me cry all time
    Your voice is amazing
    Love you mimi
    And thank you for this beautiful song ❤️

    This is so relevant in 2019, to all the lovers and haters ❤️❤️❤️

  38. J.... F....

    I can't help but saying that I am hearing a trace of Aretha Franklin in the style of your singing and can't help but wonder how she would approach some of the brilliant phrasing within the composition. Speaking of which, Mariah writes her own stuff. She is the Michael Jordan of vocalists AND she writes her own stuff! 18 #1's. Think of that. Stevie Wonder, Prince, Aretha, even Michael fricking Jackson... she has more than them. She's up there with the Beatles. 
    Elvis, the Beatles and Mariah.
    Dang.
    This song?
    It's my new favorite.
    Should have 500 billion views. 500 trillion.

  39. J.... F....

    This is phenomenal. I am stunned. Blow away. Bravo Mz. Carey, Bravo.

  40. A.... M....

    This Lyrics...... her emotion, situation in that time of her life. Everything there. The Art of Letting Go...... I feel you Mariah. Because of that, I love this song.

  41. C.... N....

    Too many bad people in the world!😵

    The 1K PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED this song is the 1K PEOPLE Mariah is talking about LETTING GO! 💯💯💯👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

  44. C.... L....

    Since its release, I can't count how many times I consistently listen to it. It's one of her many masterpieces and the definition of underrated.

  45. E.... B....

    Art 💕🦋🌈💞

  46. F.... N....

    This song just keep getting back to me again and again. A gem buried in all her other gems.

  47. J.... A....

    One of my favorites

  48. J.... _....

    *This is beyond amazing. Mrs. Carey is simply surreal. My most profound admiration and respect for that woman (Is she human at all?). Breathtaking song.*

  49. e.... v....

    Mariah could get on my nerves sometimes, but I relate to her lyrics. It's like she knows how it feels. That's why I never stopped being a fan of her music.

  58. S.... G....

    She steals a lot of ideas from people. I could sue you for that.

    S.... G....

    Steal from who dear stacey? Go ahead sue if you want 🤪🤡

  59. F.... I....

    I'm making a statement of my own opinion
    Just a brief little reminder to help myself remember
    I no longer live in your dominion (no no no no, no no no ooh)
    You’re just trifling, nothing more than a liability
    Gotta bundle all your possessions
    Outside the kitchen window right now
    Letting go

    Letting go ain’t easy
    Oh, it’s just exceedingly hurtful
    ‘cause somebody you used to know
    It’s flinging your world around
    And they watch, as you’re falling down, down, down
    Falling down, baby

    Evidently your words were merely lies
    Reverberating in my ears
    And the echo won’t subside
    There’s deep deep loss of hope
    And the anger burns in me
    I hope you don’t get no ideas ’bout re-uniting baby

    As you’re falling (falling)
    Down
    Fall
    It ain’t easy baby

  64. J.... C....

    This album was so mistreated. 😩♥️ if this was the early 90s 00s... she would of made the top again.

    Music these days makes it easy for anyone to get a chart topper. Just not the same anymore.

  70. K.... C....

    Such a great understated Mariah classic. Such beautiful vocals so clear and crisp. Sad that songs like this with simple production and meaning do not chart anymore. If this was realses in the 90's it would have been #1. I like music that deals more with lyrical content then production.

    K.... C....

    Charts are mostly generic nowadays Dahling. It can't contain the greatness of gems like this one.

    Essa música tem um valor sentimental tão forte pra mim! Na época que a Mariah lançou a música como single promocional, eu estava passando por um processo de separação de uma relação amorosa de mais de 3 anos e estava sendo muito difícil. A música veio no momento certo. Pra ser sincero ainda gosto muito dessa pessoa, e toda vez que escuto essa música e me lembro do nosso término eu sempre choro.

  96. R.... L....

    Baby I love you so much baby girl do u love me love shy find me walk up to me means u love me I'll be in the square this morning at 7-8 am be there love she
