[Verse 1]
You broke every promise
We said forever, then you left
I kept the porch light off
Still heard your keys in my head
Seven years gone by
And I still ask if you’re okay
That old ache in my chest
Still finds me on the same day
[Pre-Chorus]
I carried your name too long
Like a stone in my coat
I kept turning it over
Like it might come up gold
But I’m done with the holding
Done with the hope
[Chorus]
Let go of your control over me
Let go of your control over me
Stop asking, stop looking
Don’t have me, know me
Let go of your control over me
Let go of your control over me
I’m taking back my mind
I’m taking back my breath
[Verse 2]
I saw your shadow once
In a stranger at the door
My heart did that old flinch
Then I hated it once more
You don’t get to linger
In the rooms you walked out of
I was lost inside your echo
Now I’m learning what I’m made of
[Pre-Chorus]
I buried the questions deep
In the dirt and the rain
If I kept on digging
I’d just bleed that name again
So I’m done with the holding
Done with the pain
[Chorus]
Let go of your control over me
Let go of your control over me
Stop asking, stop looking
Don’t have me, know me
Let go of your control over me
Let go of your control over me
I’m taking back my mind
I’m taking back my breath
[Bridge]
If you’re out there, stay out there
I don’t need your reply
I kept your ghost on a leash
And it pulled me dry
I forgive the hurt
But I won’t be your home
What you left in me
Doesn’t get to rule me now
[Final Chorus]
Let go of your control over me
Let go of your control over me
Stop asking, stop looking
Don’t have me, know me
Let go of your control over me
Let go of your control over me
I’m taking back my mind
I’m taking back my breath
