The Weight of Letting Go (Swedish Channel Challenge)
[Verse 1] I held out my hands, open wide Built bridges where you drew the lines Gathered the pieces you let fall Waited for you to hear the call (Oh, as I call for you) [Verse 2] But the light I carried fades away Every word I say, you turn away Hope whispers softly, but you don’t hear I stand in shadows year by year (Please hear me my dear) [Chorus] It’s heavy (Oh, so heavy) This weight I bear Pulling you close, but you're not there I’ve broken myself trying to mend A story that won’t ever end (Why can't it end?) [Verse 3] Now I watch from a distance, cold Your walls are higher than I was told I knock, but there’s no answer still You slip away beyond my will [Verse 4] I grieve for the fight I couldn’t win For the doors you wouldn’t let me in Tears fall for what I couldn’t be For the rescue you wouldn’t see (Why can't you see?) [Chorus] It’s heavy (Oh, so heavy) This weight I bear Pulling you close, but you're not there I’ve broken myself trying to mend A story that won’t ever end (Why can't it end?) [Outro] So I lay down the rope, let it go Turn from the storm I’ll never know Some battles you fight on your own And I walk away… alone (Farewell my love)
