My Sanity by Ashes (Cover)

[Verse 1] The weight of the world, it rests on my shoulders, But silence can heal what the noise tears apart. I’ve carried too much, grown weary but bolder, Now I choose the safety of guarding my heart. [Pre-Chorus] It’s not surrender, it’s learning to breathe, Letting the branches fall, so the roots can believe. [Chorus] For my sanity, I must let go, Of the pieces that bind me, the pain I still know. I’ll hold to the light, though the night pulls me through, For my sanity, I must be true. [Verse 2] The love that I’ve lost, the dreams I’ve released, They linger like echoes that beg not to cease. But peace has a price, and I’ve come to see, That saving my soul means setting me free. [Pre-Chorus] It’s not the ending, it’s starting again, Choosing the quiet, not drowning in pain. [Chorus] For my sanity, I must let go, Of the burdens behind me, the weight I can’t hold. I’ll trust in the dawn, where the sky breaks anew, For my sanity, I must be true. [Bridge] (soaring, emotional build) Let the tears fall down like rain, Wash away the silent strain. I am worthy, I am whole, I will not lose my soul. [Final Chorus] For my sanity, I must let go, Of the fears that define me, the ache I’ve outgrown. I’ll rise with the light, with a heart that is new, For my sanity… I must be true. (sustained emotional closing note, almost whispered) …for my sanity.
