[Verse 1]
I held your hand like it was my anchor
But the weight pulled me down under the waves
Your voice
A song I used to crave
Now it echoes like a ghost in the chamber
[Prechorus]
I thought I’d drown if I let go
But sometimes sinking's how you grow
[Chorus]
I’m letting go of you
To hold on to me
Bittersweet freedom tastes like the sea
Lonely but lighter
I’m breaking free
A better version’s waiting to be
[Verse 2]
Your shadow stretched across my daylight
I made my home in the shade of your smile
But even love can be a guile
When it asks you to shrink to feel right
[Prechorus]
I thought I’d break
But here I stand
Freedom’s a stranger I understand
[Chorus]
I’m letting go of you
To hold on to me
Bittersweet freedom tastes like the sea
Lonely but lighter
I’m breaking free
A better version’s waiting to be
