(Verse 1) Letting go of my love for you, love that I never got to use, Clearing out your shadows from my mind. I used to hold you in every one of my dreams, It was like Chasing after flowers that wouldn't bloom. Now The morning light hits different on my wall, And my heart doesn't ask my mind where you have gone at all. (Chorus) And it’s not a sudden storm or a heavy breaking wave, Just a quiet kind of peace that I finally learned to say. I’m letting down the sails, stepping back into the stream, Learning to let go of the love of my dreams. (Verse 2) We were built on promises in the dark, A masterpiece painted in the air. I loved the shadow that you left behind, More than the person who was standing there. I’m packing up the dreams I held so tight, And leaving on the porch a softer light. (Chorus) 'Cause it’s not a sudden storm or a heavy breaking wave, Just a quiet kind of peace that I finally learned to say. I’m letting down the sails, stepping back into the stream, Learning to let go of the love of my dreams. (Bridge) It hurts to watch a fantasy unfold, To trade the golden story for the truth untold. But a dream can only carry you so far, Before you have to wake and find out who you are. (Chorus) No, it’s not a sudden storm or a heavy breaking wave, Just a quiet kind of peace that I finally learned to say. I’m letting down the sails, stepping back into the stream, Learning to let go of the love of my dreams. (Outro) Yeah, your picture’s fading from the frame, I can say it now without the pain. Stepping back into the stream... I’m letting go of the love of my dreams.
