The Seasons of Letting Go

[Verse 1] I am autumn leaves clinging To branches that no longer feed me Desperate roots drink empty soil While your spring belongs to another How I've memorized the distance Between your laughter and my silence Mapping constellations in your gestures Knowing I am winter to your warmth [Chorus] Like rivers that can never flow uphill I reach for you but fate intervenes My heart: a desert thirsting for your rain That falls on other gardens, other dreams Truth crystallizes: some flowers bloom only in distant fields And I am learning slowly the seasons of letting go [Verse 2] Watch me become the moth Circling your unreachable flame Burning wings against impossible glass While knowing this dance destroys me You are morning, breaking somewhere else I am the night that must surrender Our seasons never synchronized My winter to your eternal spring [Chorus] Like rivers that can never flow uphill I reach for you but fate intervenes My heart: a desert thirsting for your rain That falls on other gardens, other dreams Truth crystallizes: some flowers bloom only in distant fields And I am learning slowly the seasons of letting go [Bridge] Seasons change even in the landscape of impossible love I release you like autumn releases leaves Trusting the earth knows how to receive them [Guitar Solo] [Outro] No more patience for this endless cycle I am done, I am done, I am done!
