[Verse 1]
I gave too much, I gave it all away,
Handed myself over, let my heart decay.
It ain't her fault, no, the blame is mine,
I traded my soul just to buy some time.
[Chorus]
But the only way back is to let it all go,
To walk through the fire, face the cold wind's blow.
I betrayed my own heart, now I finally see,
The only way forward is starting over as me.
[Verse 2]
I chased her shadow, lost my own light,
Fought against myself in every sleepless night.
The mirror told the truth, it cut me deep,
A stranger stared back, someone I couldn’t keep.
[Prechorus]
Alone ain't the worst place to be,
When you're finally free to just be.
[Chorus]
The only way back is to let it all go,
To walk through the fire, face the cold wind's blow.
I betrayed my own heart, now I finally see,
The only way forward is starting over as me.
[Bridge]
I’ll mend these hands, these hands that gave too much,
Learn to hold my ground without losing touch.
Step by step, I’ll find my own way,
Building a life I won't give away.
