[Verse]
You set my heart on fire then let it burn low
Said you wanted me forever but you let me go
I built my dreams around a castle in the sand
Now I’m learning letting go is how I stand
[Verse 2]
You whispered promises just to hear them fade
Left me stranded in the shadows of the love we made
Now you flash your smile across the pew at church
But my soul’s too wise to fall back into that hurt
[Chorus]
I’m letting you go like a bird from my hand
Taking back my heart to grow where I land
You were the lesson I needed to free
Now the love I’ll keep is the one inside me
[Verse 3]
You played the role so perfect till it came undone
All your shining words turned to shadows in the sun
I thought I’d call you mine and wear you like a vow
But now I see it clearer and I’m stronger somehow
[Bridge]
Flirty glances can’t erase the tears I cried
No more dancing in the game where truth can’t hide
I’ll sit in the light as your charm falls away
The hope in my heart is the dawn of a new day
[Chorus]
I’m letting you go like a bird from my hand
Taking back my heart to grow where I land
You were the lesson I needed to free
Now the love I’ll keep is the one inside me
