[Verse 1]
I packed your sweater in a box by June
Thought by August I’d erase your room
But the outline on the wall still knows your name
Every hallway here still walks the same
Old texts sitting in a cracked-screen phone
Scrolling through a life that’s overgrown
I keep asking every ghost what I did wrong
They just stare back, then they’re gone
[Chorus]
Time to let go, let it fall where it’s landing
Not every story gets a happy ending
Some love flickers out, some bridges keep burning
I’m limping forward but the world keeps turning
Time to let go, no ribbon, no wrapping
Just a quiet door close, tired hands unclasping
Not every chapter needs that bright-side mending
I’m learning how to live with an unfinished ending
[Verse 2]
We had plans written in your old notebook
Kids, a porch, same swing, one outlook
Now it’s coffee for one at the corner seat
Two chairs, one pair of untied dreams
Friends say, “You’ll find better, it’s for the best”
Like they slept one night in this heavy chest
Yeah, I smile back, say “maybe, we’ll see”
Go home, talk to the ceiling till three (till three)
[Chorus]
Time to let go, let it fall where it’s landing
Not every story gets a happy ending
Some love flickers out, some bridges keep burning
I’m limping forward but the world keeps turning
Time to let go, no ribbon, no wrapping
Just a quiet door close, tired hands unclasping
Not every chapter needs that bright-side mending
I’m learning how to live with an unfinished ending
[Bridge]
Maybe healing ain’t a sunrise scene
Maybe healing’s just breathing in-between
One step, one scar, one slow deep breath
Making small peace with the smaller deaths (yeah)
[Chorus]
Time to let go, let it fall where it’s landing
Not every story gets a happy ending
Some love flickers out, some bridges keep burning
I’m limping forward but the world keeps turning
Time to let go, heart bruised but it’s beating
Every goodbye leaves a room for a meeting
Not every chapter gets that soft-side sending
But I’m still here, still here
Past the happy ending
