[Verse 1]
I learned your silence first
Before I learned my name
Every room felt small
Like I was built for blame
Your words hit hard
Left bruises where they hide
Now I flinch at love
Like it came to fight
You said "be grateful"
I said "I can't breathe"
Made a prison out
Of everything I need
I wore that weight
Like it was skin
But I got tired
Of living in
[Pre-Chorus]
Tired of the shame
Tired of the chain
I hear your voice
And I break the same
But I got scars
And I got light
I'm taking back
My own tonight
[Chorus]
Let go, let go
I won't carry you
Let go, let go
I'm done being used
Let go, let go
You don't run my mind
Let go, let go
I'm mine this time
[Verse 2]
You called it love
I called it fear
You made my tears
Feel like a souvenir
Learned to say sorry
For taking up air
Learned to disappear
Just to make you stare
Now I see the pattern
In the way you bent me
How you fed on doubt
Till it lived inside me
But I found my pulse
Under all that noise
Found a little fire
In the wreckage, boy
[Pre-Chorus]
Tired of the shame
Tired of the chain
I hear your voice
And I break the same
But I got scars
And I got light
I'm taking back
My own tonight
[Chorus]
Let go, let go
I won't carry you
Let go, let go
I'm done being used
Let go, let go
You don't run my mind
Let go, let go
I'm mine this time
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
I was a kid with a locked-up chest
A jaw clenched tight and a stolen rest
You taught me fear like a family name
But I can speak now, I can name that pain
I was never broken
I was buried deep
I was never nothing
I was hard to keep
So if you call, I don't answer
If you reach, I won't fold
I'm not your wound anymore
I'm letting go
[Final Chorus]
Let go, let go
I won't carry you
Let go, let go
I'm done being used
Let go, let go
You don't run my mind
Let go, let go
I'm mine this time
Let go, let go
I cut the chain
Let go, let go
I don't wear your name
Let go, let go
I made it through
Let go, let go
I let go of you
