Letting go

Letting Go (Ballad)

Verse 1

I could stay here, hold on tight,

But I’d be lying to myself tonight.

I’d be living in a shadow, hiding from the truth,

If I stayed one more day here with you.

I could ignore all the signs, pretend it’s alright,

Keep us together, but lose the fight.

But the weight of pretending is crushing me slow,

So I’d rather feel the pain of letting you go.

Chorus

I’d rather feel the emptiness than a love that’s gone cold,

Face the ache of freedom than be left in your hold.

It hurts like hell, but I know it’s right,

To walk away and leave you tonight.

I’d rather break my own heart and live with the scars,

Than be bound to a love that tears me apart.

Verse 2

We were fire once, burned so bright,

But now it’s embers in the dead of night.

I clung to the ashes, hoping they’d grow,

But deep down I knew it was time to let go.

You gave me memories, moments so sweet,

But sometimes love just has to retreat.

I can’t keep this love on a broken string,

If I stay here, I’ll lose everything.

Chorus

I’d rather feel the emptiness than a love that’s gone cold,

Face the ache of freedom than be left in your hold.

It hurts like hell, but I know it’s right,

To walk away and leave you tonight.

I’d rather break my own heart and live with the scars,

Than be bound to a love that tears me apart.

Bridge

So I’m stepping away, and I’m letting you go,

Even if every step feels impossibly slow.

The weight of goodbye is heavy and real,

But I’d rather that weight than a love I can’t feel.

Chorus

I’d rather feel the emptiness than a love that’s gone cold,

Face the ache of freedom than be left in your hold.

It hurts like hell, but I know it’s right,

To walk away and leave you tonight.

I’d rather break my own heart and live with the scars,

Than be bound to a love that tears me apart.

Outro

Goodbye is the hardest word to say,

But I’ll carry it with me, day by day.

I’d rather feel the pain, let the memories flow,

Than stay with you and never know my soul.
