[Verse]
Playing hide and seek with shadows long gone
Innocence misled by a twisted song
Heart on my sleeve ticking like a bomb
Words sharper than the blades of dawn
[Verse 2]
Little feet wander through fields of doubt
Burned by secrets we never talked about
Too young to know the depths of pain
Sheltered by the tears that fell like rain
[Chorus]
Letting go of ghosts that haunted me
Forgive the past let the heart be free
You get what you give it's time to see
Healing starts when you set the pain free
[Bridge]
Hold my hand and walk through the fire
We'll turn the ashes into desire
No more chains of yesterday's sorrow
Leave the darkness we'll face tomorrow
[Verse 3]
Lessons learned in the hardest school
Bruised but wiser breaking every rule
Love was lost in a child's game
But forgiveness clears the slate of blame
[Chorus]
Letting go of ghosts that haunted me
Forgive the past let the heart be free
You get what you give it's time to see
Healing starts when you set the pain free
