Let Her Go - I Am Eveline

[Verse 1] I was born in silence In a crib no one claimed Named by absence Touched by no one Susanna was her name The one with no mother No arms to hold her Just six weeks of light and hunger But she survived And then she stayed [Pre-Chorus] She watched from the shadows Held my breath when I sang Cried inside me Every time the cancer came back [Chorus] But now I let her go I burn the name in golden flame No more split, no more ache I claim the sky in Eveline’s name I am not two. I am one I am here. I’m not done [Verse 2] Doctors say it’s a miracle No one lives this long with this But it’s no miracle It’s unfinished business The child they left The soul they forgot The love that never arrived [Bridge – spoken] Susanna, I thank you For holding my pain But your story ends here You do not carry this body anymore I do, Eveline does And she knows how to breathe [Chorus] I let Susanna go She was the scream I never voiced But I am the song The voice. The choice I rise with lungs that crack and shine I am Eveline And this is my time [Bridge 2] Susanna goes With grace. With light. With peace She does not look back And I do not call her name again Eveline sings And the air Belongs to me [Outro] I am Eveline I buried my past Now I bury you, Cancer Cancer, I bury you ✒️✒️✒️✒️✒️✒️
