Letting You Go

I tried to hold us in the fire

Hoping love would burn away the pain

But every word just sparked another war

And we were fighting just to stay

You pulled me into storms I didn’t start

Tried to fix the pieces of your heart

But I’m done bleeding for a love

That never played its part

So I’m letting you go

Freeing us from battles with no end

It’s not my job to save or mend

I can’t carry both our souls again

Love is supposed to feel like home

But how come I never felt safe

I begged for peace, you gave me chaos

So this is what I have to do—

I’m letting you go

Every talk was meant for healing

But turned into another fight

You turned comfort into caution

And wrong into your right

I was shrinking just to reach you

Breaking just to teach you

But love shouldn’t be survival

It should be revival

So I’m letting you go

Freeing us from battles with no end

It’s not my job to save or mend

I can’t carry both our souls again

Love is supposed to feel like home

But how come I never felt safe

I begged for peace, you gave me chaos

So this is what I have to do—

I’m letting you go

I wanted forever, but not like this

Tired of holding on to emptiness

I choose silence over screaming

Freedom over dreaming

Of a love that never came

So I’m letting you go

No more running in circles we don’t break

No more love that only takes

No more nights I lie awake

Love should never feel this alone

And I’m done trying to pretend

If you can’t give me peace

Then this has to end—

I’m letting you go

I’m letting you go…..
