This Is Letting Go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything. Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat I moved my feet, I carried weight What I could not do I faked I dug seeking treasure Just to wake up in an early grave So I stopped right there and said Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow. This isn't giving up, no this is letting go Out with the old dreams I've borrowed The path I carve from here on out will be my own The path will be my own This is the part where the needle skips And the chorus plays like a sink that drips A syllable repeating, like a warning we aren't heeding Until all of a sudden we noticed it When the wheels brace and the tires grip A map we've been misreading A defeat we're not conceding Until now There must be some other way out Go on alone, because I won't follow But this isn't giving up no this is letting go Out with the old dreams I've borrowed The path I carve from here on out will be my own A path to take me home (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) The wind died The whole world ceased to move Now so quiet Her beating heart became a boom We locked eyes For just a moment or two She asked why I said "I don't know why, I just know" The wind died The whole world ceased to move Now so quiet Her beating heart became a boom We locked eyes For just a moment or two She asked why I said "I don't know why I just know I just know" Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow This isn't giving up, no this is letting go I made most of all this sorrow I tried to brave this discontent, but now I'm through I'm letting go of you. This is letting go This is letting go Once upon a time I could take anything, anything. --- This Is Letting Go - Rise Against
