[Intro] Ooh… Yeah… yeah… Mm-mm-mm… I had to let her go… [Verse 1] Mirror on the wall, I don’t recognize That little heart still cryin’ in my eyes Used to run from pain, hide behind a smile Carry every wound like it was my child Stayed awake talkin’ to the ceiling Tryna heal a soul nobody was feelin’ But seasons changed and so did I Had to let the old me die [Pre-Chorus] She was broken Too afraid to breathe Always searching For what she couldn’t see Now I finally know… [Chorus] The younger me is dead and gone Ashes in the wind, I’m moving on Can’t keep livin’ in yesterday’s songs I survived the nights that felt too long Now there’s light where the hurt belonged The younger me is dead and gone Gone… Dead and gone… [Verse 2] I don’t hate her, she got me here Through every lonely night and every fear But I outgrew the chains I used to wear Now my spirit breathes different air No more shrinking just to fit inside Places that never felt like mine I finally found my voice tonight And it sounds like new life [Pre-Chorus] She was drowning While reaching for the shore Now I’m standing Like never before And I finally know… [Chorus] The younger me is dead and gone Ashes in the wind, I’m moving on Can’t keep livin’ in yesterday’s songs I survived the nights that felt too long Now there’s light where the hurt belonged The younger me is dead and gone [Bridge] Mm… I buried every fear beneath the moonlight Every tear became a reason to survive Now the woman in me finally feels alive Ooh… No lookin’ back this time [Final Chorus] The younger me is dead and gone But something stronger now was born No more hiding from the storm I found peace inside the war And I don’t hurt like before The younger me is dead… Gone… [Outro] Mm-mm… She’s gone… And I’m finally free…
