Verse 1 The weight I carried wore thin at the edges I kept holding on long after the meaning left Everything I built turns to breath in the air I see the shadows stretching where the light once stood Verse 2 I don't recognise the person in the mirror anymore I tried to mend the cracks but the damage goes deeper Every quiet battle fought in the dark of the night Slowly dissolving like salt into water Chorus I finally let it fade away Not giving up just setting it down No more chasing ghosts that won't stay I turn my face toward something new And watch the heavy parts dissolve I let it go I let it fade Verse 3 It doesn't happen all at once you know One morning you wake and the ache is quieter The chains were only heavy because I believed I needed them Now I step forward and nothing holds me back Bridge It was never weakness to walk away It wasn't failure to finally rest I kept everything that matters And let the rest just disappear Gently completely Fading out of view End Chorus I finally let it fade away Not broken just lighter than before No more waiting for the change I am the change I was looking for Everything I couldn't say I let it fade away
