Now I lay my head to rest All these years pressed on my chest If the night takes more than sleep I’m not scared of what I’ll meet I’ve said every word I could I stood longer than I should If this chapter’s folding slow I’m finally letting go Before I grip what’s slipping anyway Before I beg the dark to make me stay I don’t have to break to cross the line I don’t have to bleed to change my life I’ve been holding on with white-knuckled hands Now I loosen them I don’t have to fight the tide tonight I don’t have to win to be alright If there’s peace beyond this ache I feel I’m ready I’m ready to let go I chased meaning through the noise Every fear, every voice Tried to carry all the weight Like it proved I could be saved But the truth cuts soft and clean Rest is not the same as leaving I don’t need to disappear Just stop standing guard right here Before I turn this hurt into a war Before I ask myself for more I don’t have to break to cross the line I don’t have to bleed to change my life I’ve been holding on with white-knuckled hands Now I loosen them I don’t have to fight the tide tonight I don’t have to win to be alright If there’s peace beyond this ache I feel I’m ready I’m ready to let go Nobody knows where the quiet leads But I’m done making pain my proof I breathe If rest is waiting, I’ll step slow Not afraid Just letting go I don’t have to end to feel release I don’t have to vanish to find peace I gave everything I had to give Now I live If there’s light inside the letting go If there’s calm I’ve never known I don’t need to be afraid anymore I’m ready I’m ready If I sleep a little deeper now Let it be relief, not running out I didn’t lose I just let go
