(Verse 1) I found a box in the back of my mind Full of old names I left behind Every bad habit, every excuse All dressed up looking just like truth I lit a match and watched it glow Some things gotta die to grow The smoke went up into the night And for once I didn’t stop the fire (Pre-Chorus) I’m tired of carrying ghosts around Tired of letting them pull me down (Chorus) So I’m killing off the things I hate The voice that tells me I’m too late The fear that lives beneath my skin The war I’ve always kept within I’m letting go, I’m letting go Of everyone I used to know Even the parts that look like me If they won’t let me breathe (Verse 2) There’s a room I never cleaned before Dust on every single door Broken mirrors on the floor Don’t need them anymore I don’t wanna be that kid again Counting all the ways I’d never win I opened up the window wide And let the cold air rush inside (Pre-Chorus) I’m tired of carrying ghosts around Tired of letting them pull me down (Chorus) So I’m killing off the things I hate The voice that tells me I’m too late The fear that lives beneath my skin The war I’ve always kept within I’m letting go, I’m letting go Of everyone I used to know Even the parts that look like me If they won’t let me breathe (Outro) The house is quiet now The house is quiet now Maybe I can hear myself somehow Maybe I can hear myself somehow
