Verse 1
I was fine on the surface
Dead calm, no waves
Same coffee, same streets
Same “I’m okay”
I called it peace, I called it grown
But I was breaking on my own
I stayed ‘cause it was easy
Didn’t see how far I’d gone
Pre-Chorus
I was deep in the comfort
Yeah, I thought that was control
Didn’t know I was empty
‘Til I felt the silence loud
Chorus (catchy, lift)
I didn’t know I needed to let go
‘Til I stepped out of the rhythm I know
I was moving but I wasn’t alive
Just stuck on repeat, barely getting by
Now the air feels different in my lungs
Yeah, the dark don’t hit me like it once done
I didn’t know I needed to break free
But letting go was the best thing for me
Post-Chorus / Hook
Out of the rhythm
Out of the haze
I found myself when I walked away
Verse 2
I wore comfort like armor
Called it safe, called it smart
But it weighed on my shoulders
Yeah, it broke my heart
I mistook routine for truth
Thought staying meant being strong
But the moment I released it
I felt myself come back on
Pre-Chorus
I was scared of the quiet
Of the space after goodbye
But the silence didn’t kill me
It taught me how to try
Chorus
I didn’t know I needed to let go
‘Til I stepped out of the rhythm I know
I was breathing but I wasn’t alive
Just stuck on repeat, wasting time
Now the light hits different on my skin
Yeah, I’m more than who I’ve been
I didn’t know I needed to break free
But letting go was the best thing for me
Bridge (cinematic build)
If you’re listening from the same old place
Thinking numb means safe
I promise you the fall won’t last
There’s more than what you’ve had
Final Chorus (bigger, hopeful)
I didn’t know I needed to let go
‘Til I felt my heart beat on its own
I was living in a half-lit life
Now I’m wide awake, yeah, I’m alright
Now the world feels louder, feels real
Yeah, this healing hits hard but it heals
I didn’t know I needed to be free
But letting go made a man outta me
Outro
Out of the rhythm
Into my life
I lost the habit
And found the light
JOREN
