Verse 1 I held on like a wildfire Burning bright against your cold night air You were the calm I kept reaching for But you never really felt me there I tried to be the storm you’d run into But you never even turned your head So I learned to love you from a distance And swallow words I never said Pre‑Chorus It’s a strange kind of mercy When your heart breaks but your soul grows And I finally see the truth now Love don’t stay where it never knows Chorus So I’m letting you go Even though my hands still shake I’m loving you enough To walk away from what you couldn’t take This isn’t weakness, it’s the strongest thing I’ve ever done ’Cause I wanted you forever But you never wanted anyone So I’m standing in my power Even as the tears still flow I love you — God, I love you But I’m letting you go Verse 2 I used to dream you’d wake up someday See the fire you kept walking past But I can’t keep waiting on a heartbeat That was never meant to beat for us I’m not breaking, I’m becoming Something braver than I’ve ever known And maybe losing you is the moment I finally come home to my own Pre‑Chorus It’s a hard kind of healing When the truth cuts deeper than the lie But I’m done begging for a feeling You were never gonna try Chorus So I’m letting you go Even though my hands still shake I’m loving you enough To walk away from what you couldn’t take This isn’t weakness, it’s the strongest thing I’ve ever done ’Cause I wanted you forever But you never wanted anyone So I’m standing in my power Even as the tears still flow I love you — God, I love you But I’m letting you go Bridge One day I’ll thank this heartbreak For teaching me how strong I am For showing me that loving someone Doesn’t mean you lose your stand And maybe you’ll remember me As the one who loved you true But I’ll remember me as the woman Who finally chose herself too Final Chorus So I’m letting you go Not because the love ran dry But because I finally realized I deserve someone who tries This isn’t weakness, it’s the bravest thing I’ve ever known I loved you with everything But now I’m loving me enough to go I love you — I’ll always love you But I’m letting you go ---
