Already let you go

(Verse 1)

Dusty road beneath my feet, same one you walked away

Didn't think I'd make it through that long and lonely day

The silence screamed where laughter used to bloom

Felt like a tomb, sealed in a darkened room

But time, they say, it mends a broken wing

And slowly, softly, I began to sing

A different tune, a melody of peace

Found my release, found sweet release.

(Chorus)

So don't look at me like you're worried 'bout what I will say

The sun has set on our day, it's faded to gray

The night was cold and lonely, but I got through it all alone

And every day that followed, a warmer seed was sown

Now I can feel the summer's glow, a fire in my soul

So it's okay if you fly away, I let you go, lost all control

A long time ago, yeah, I let you go.

(Verse 2)

I picked up pieces scattered on the floor

Built something stronger than what stood before

Patched up the cracks with resilience and with grace

Found my own pace in this wide open space

Your memory lingers, a shadow in the past

But the hurt it cast, it couldn't forever last

It settled deep, a line upon my skin

A scar within, but healing could begin.

(Chorus)

So don't look at me like you're worried 'bout what I will say

The sun has set on our day, it's faded to gray

The night was cold and lonely, but I got through it all alone

And every day that followed, a warmer seed was sown

Now I can feel the summer's glow, a fire in my soul

So it's okay if you fly away, I let you go, lost all control

A long time ago, yeah, I let you go.

(Bridge)

The ache still comes sometimes, a whisper in the breeze

A rustling of the long-forgotten trees

But it doesn't linger, doesn't hold me in its sway

Just a reminder of a cloudy yesterday

And then the sun breaks through, a golden, warming light

Chasing the remnants of that lonely night.

(Chorus)

So don't look at me like you're worried 'bout what I will say

The sun has set on our day, it's faded to gray

The night was cold and lonely, but I got through it all alone

And every day that followed, a warmer seed was sown

Now I can feel the summer's glow, a fire in my soul

So it's okay if you fly away, I let you go, lost all control

A long time ago, yeah, I let you go.

(Outro)

Go on and fly, spread your wings and soar

My heart ain't broken anymore

The summer's here, and I am finally free

You flying away doesn't bother me.

I let you go... a long time ago...

Let you go... let you go...
