*(Verse 1)* I held you close when the world was cold, In the silence of the night, you made me whole. But time is cruel, and love’s a fight, We’re just shadows in the dawn, fading from the light. I whispered dreams, you whispered fears, We built our lives in those tender years. But nothing lasts, not even fire, And now I stand here, drowning in desire. *(Pre-Chorus)* I thought love would never break, That we’d be strong enough to make A world where hearts don't have to fall, But I never knew that we’d lose it all. *(Chorus)* And now I’m letting go, but it’s tearing me apart, You were the rhythm in my soul, the beat inside my heart. The emptiness is louder than all the words we said, Now I walk alone, with you in every step I tread. Oh, when we let go, did we ever truly know, That love’s the sweetest lie we hold, the hardest truth we show? *(Verse 2)* I see your face in every dream I chase, But you’re not there, just an empty space. And all the promises we used to keep, They’re buried now in the secrets we can’t speak. But I still feel you in the air I breathe, In every tear, in every sigh I grieve. It’s funny how a love can hurt this way, Yet I can’t turn my back, I can’t walk away. *(Pre-Chorus)* I thought love would never break, That we’d be strong enough to make A world where hearts don’t have to fall, But I never knew that we’d lose it all. *(Chorus)* And now I’m letting go, but it’s tearing me apart, You were the rhythm in my soul, the beat inside my heart. The emptiness is louder than all the words we said, Now I walk alone, with you in every step I tread. Oh, when we let go, did we ever truly know, That love’s the sweetest lie we hold, the hardest truth we show? *(Bridge)* I gave you all, but love’s a game we play, We never thought that it would end this way. So now I stand with nothing left to show, But all the moments I was scared to let you go. And maybe that’s the hardest part, To love so deep, yet fall apart. To feel the weight of what we’ve lost, And wonder if it was worth the cost. *(Chorus)* And now I’m letting go, but it’s tearing me apart, You were the rhythm in my soul, the beat inside my heart. The emptiness is louder than all the words we said, Now I walk alone, with you in every step I tread. Oh, when we let go, did we ever truly know, That love’s the sweetest lie we hold, the hardest truth we show? *(Outro)* So here I stand, with the echo of our song, With love that felt so right, but now feels so wrong. I’ll let you go, but not from my soul, For you’ll be the part of me that I can never control.
