[Verse 1]
Some of us are loving from wounds
Bandaged hearts in borrowed rooms
We hold tight to what still burns
Call it care, but it hurts
We trace the shape of what we lost
Then pay the same old heavy cost
Hands outstretched, but we still brace
For the ache to show its face
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we were taught to cling
To every broken, familiar thing
But what if healing starts to show
When we loosen, when we let go
[Chorus]
Letting go slowly
Letting go slowly
We don't have to bleed
To prove we chose it
Letting go slowly
Letting go slowly
Love can learn to breathe
Without the old ghosts
[Verse 2]
Some are running from the past
Making vows that never last
Same old door, same old lie
Same goodbye, new disguise
Some are learning how to stay
Without fear inside the way
Soft enough to speak the truth
Strong enough to leave the proof
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we were taught to cling
To every broken, familiar thing
But what if healing starts to show
When we loosen, when we let go
[Chorus]
Letting go slowly
Letting go slowly
We don't have to bleed
To prove we chose it
Letting go slowly
Letting go slowly
Love can learn to breathe
Without the old ghosts
[Bridge]
Hands unclench
Chest unclenches
Old names fall
Off the fences
I can love
And still release
What I carry
Is not all me
[Final Chorus]
Letting go slowly
Letting go slowly
We don't have to bleed
To prove we chose it
Letting go slowly
Letting go slowly
Love can learn to breathe
And still keep growing
Letting go slowly
Letting go slowly
This is how we heal
This is how we hold it
