Letting Go Of You

[Verse 1]
You left your coat
On the back of my chair
Ticket stubs
Curled in the silverware
Half a cup
Gone cold by the sink
Your name
Still on everything
[Chorus]
Letting go of you
Feels like tearing out pages
From a book that I’m still in
From a life that we staged in this room
Letting go of you
Hands shake on the last line
But it’s what I have to do
Even if it breaks me in two
Letting go of you
[Verse 2]
Your side of the bed
Doesn’t argue or breathe
I talk to the dark
It just listens to me
All of your words
Hang in the quiet air
Like photos
I’m too afraid to tear
[Chorus]
Letting go of you
Feels like tearing out pages
From a book that I’m still in
From a life that we staged in this room
Letting go of you
Hands shake on the last line
But it’s what I have to do
Even if it breaks me in two
Letting go of you
[Bridge]
I count the cracks in the ceiling
Like all the ways we went wrong
I hear your laugh in the hallway (so loud)
Till I remember you’re gone
If holding on is the anchor
Then I have to cut it loose
I’m drifting into the future
With the shadow of you
[Chorus]
Letting go of you
Feels like tearing out pages
From a book that I’m still in
From a life that we staged in this room
Letting go of you
Softly under my breath now
Like a prayer I don’t want to prove
But every step pulls me through
Letting go of you

Background choir swells on the choruses like a ghostly halo. Subtle percussion blooms midway; last chorus widens with layered harmonies and reverb-drenched textures, then tapers to a fragile, solo vocal outro., art pop, dream pop, ballad, slow
