For the Life I Let Go

Verse 1

I still feel you in the quiet nights,

A whisper lost in endless lights.

A heartbeat once beneath my own,

Now silence where your laugh should’ve grown.

I painted dreams with trembling hands,

A cradle built of fragile plans.

But the world I lived in wasn’t kind,

No place for peace that you could find.

Chorus

For the life I let go, I still cry in the rain,

You’re the ghost in my soul, carved deep in my pain.

I let you fly where angels know,

For your sake, I let go.

Verse 2

I would have held you through the storm,

Kept you safe, kept you warm.

But love was broken, time untrue,

I couldn’t give the world to you.

I see your face in every dawn,

In dreams you live, though you are gone.

If heaven keeps what I could not,

Then I’ll forgive what life forgot.

Chorus

For the life I let go, I still cry in the rain,

You’re the ghost in my soul, carved deep in my pain.

I let you fly where angels know,

For your sake, I let go.

Bridge

Would you know my voice if you heard my name?

Would you see my love beyond the shame?

I carried you once — and always will,

A silent bond that time can’t still.

Final Chorus (softly)

For the life I let go, I still pray through the night,

That your soul found warmth in the endless light.

You’re the tear I’ll never show…

For your peace — I let go.
