[Intro] I let you go I have my reasons I carried us Through all the seasons [Verse 1] So many words we left unsettled So many nights inside my head I kept reaching for your fingers You kept pulling back instead I didn’t know the hand I trusted Was the weight that held me down I was learning how to stand up While you waited for me to bow [Pre-Chorus] And growing as I do I never thought I’d lose you I can love what we once were And still choose life without you [Chorus] The day has come The night is young I’m letting go Of what we’ve become Be who you always knew I’ll learn to be me too With all the love I have left I release you [Build] I release you My hands are shaking But they’re opening I release— [Drop] You I release you Let go I let you go [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I never meant to hold you back I had some things to learn Sometimes I called it holding on Afraid you wouldn’t return After all the hurt between us There are things I wouldn’t change You were there for who I used to be But I can’t ask you to stay [Pre-Chorus] And growing as I do There’s still a place that aches for you I can let myself feel it Without reaching out to you [Chorus] The day has come The night is young I’m letting go Of what we’ve become Be who you always knew I’ll learn to be me too With all the love I have left I release you [Bridge] I’m still honest I’m still true There’s more to me Than what I’ve been through You were a blessing You were a lesson I can leave without an answer To every restless question [Final Build] Today’s the day I see it through What isn’t mine to carry I give back to you My hands are shaking But they’re opening I release— [Final Drop] You I release you I let you go I’m coming home The night is young I’m coming home [Outro] I let you go I have my reasons I’m still here Through all the seasons
