The Weight I Let Go

Verse 1

Seven winters in the same cold room

Waiting for a love that never bloomed

I kept watering a dying tree

While you were drifting far from me

Every night I told myself

“Tomorrow it will change somehow”

But tomorrow came and went again

Just another lonely vow

Pre-Chorus

I was holding every broken piece

Trying to build our shattered peace

But love can’t breathe inside a cage

Built from silence and from rage

Chorus

I was carrying the weight of us

While you were walking free

Giving every part of me

To someone who couldn’t see

Seven years I tried to stay

Seven years I lost my way

But tonight the chains are gone

I’m finally moving on

Verse 2

I remember how it used to be

Back when love felt wild and free

Before the distance in your eyes

Before the quiet goodbyes

I blamed myself for every scar

Thought I wasn’t strong enough

But love was never meant to feel

Like begging someone for their love

Pre-Chorus

Now the mirror shows my face

Not the girl who lost the race

But someone stronger than before

Walking through an open door

Chorus

I was carrying the weight of us

While you were walking free

Giving every part of me

To someone who couldn’t see

Seven years I tried to stay

Seven years I lost my way

But tonight the chains are gone

I’m finally moving on

Bridge

And maybe love will find me again

Somewhere past the broken end

But this time I will never stay

Where my heart has to beg to stay

Final Chorus

I was carrying the weight of us

But I put it on the ground

All the silence, all the scars

No longer pull me down

Seven years became the flame

That burned away the pain

And the woman walking out tonight

Will never break again
