[Intro] Dust on the keys A bow on the string I held a gift Like it meant everything [Verse 1] You had a spark in your hands Like a match in the rain Could’ve turned that small flame Into something insane But the chair stayed cold And the hours never came You said, “I’ll start tomorrow” And tomorrow stayed the same [Pre-Chorus] Now the mirror knows your name And it won’t look away All that gold in your chest Just dying in the gray [Chorus] You let it go You let it go You had the flame But you never fed the glow You let it go You let it go Now the room is empty Of what you chose to miss, I know (I know) [Verse 2] I can still see the scene When the crowd would have leaned in When your hands would’ve shook Then the whole song would begin But the pages stayed blank And the strings stayed clean While your dream sat heavy Like a crown you wouldn’t wear for me [Pre-Chorus] Now the mirror knows your name And it won’t look away All that gold in your chest Just dying in the gray [Chorus] You let it go You let it go You had the flame But you never fed the glow You let it go You let it go Now the room is empty Of what you chose to miss, I know (I know) [Bridge] And I know the truth cuts deep When the echo comes back in When the life you could’ve lived Starts to feel like a ghost again I hear the rage in your breath I hear the hurt in your tone But the hardest thing you ever lost Was the song you left alone [Chorus] You let it go You let it go You had the flame But you never fed the glow You let it go You let it go Now the room is empty Of what you chose to miss, I know (I know) [Outro] So if you hear it now In the hush between the lines That talent was a door And you walked past it every time You let it go You let it go And the silence says it all What you could have been still calls (still calls)
