[Verse 1]
Trauma from my past
Lingers in my chest
Trauma from illness
Took so much, I guess
I learned to smile
While I held my breath
Now I’m tired of carrying
What hurt me best
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where it goes
When the pain gets old
Tell me why it stays
When I’ve done what I was told
I’ve been standing still
With my heart on hold
I need one real chance
To feel my own soul
[Chorus]
Let me go, let me go
I want my life back
Let me go, let me go
I can’t keep looking back
I want to move on
I want to move on
I need my name in the morning
Not the hurt I came from
[Verse 2]
Some days I’m fine
Then it cuts me down
A sound, a smell, a room
And I’m back underground
But I still get dressed
And I still show up
Even with the heavy things
I’ve been carrying up
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where it goes
When the pain gets old
Tell me why it stays
When I’ve done what I was told
I’ve been standing still
With my heart on hold
I need one real chance
To feel my own soul
[Chorus]
Let me go, let me go
I want my life back
Let me go, let me go
I can’t keep looking back
I want to move on
I want to move on
I need my name in the morning
Not the hurt I came from
[Bridge]
If I forgive it
Does it loosen its grip?
If I face it straight on
Will it finally slip?
I’m not asking for perfect
Just a little room
To breathe without fear
To bloom after the bruise
[Final Chorus]
Let me go, let me go
I want my life back
Let me go, let me go
I can’t keep looking back
I want to move on
I want to move on
I need my name in the morning
Not the hurt I came from
Let me go, let me go
I want my life back
