Years to Let Go

Lyrics

Verse 1
Once I was young, just a dream in the night
Running through memories, chasing the light
Didn’t know pain, didn’t know the cost
Didn’t know how much a heart could get lost

Pre-Chorus
Every year I grew, I was holding on tight
To the fear inside, to the wrongs and rights

Chorus
I let it go, let it fall like snow tonight
All the weight I carried deep inside
Oh-oh-oh, I’m rising from the cold
Every broken piece, I let it go

Verse 2
Packed up a box with the letters you wrote
Yellowed old tickets, an old winter coat
Drove past the house where we painted the walls
Sat in the car, watched the raindrops fall

Stared at my phone, saw your name in the list
Paused for a breath, then I silenced it
Whispered goodbye to the life that we knew
Turned the key slowly and drove toward something new

Pre-Chorus
Every mile I crossed, I was cutting those ties
Letting go of ghosts I had kept alive

Chorus
I let it go, let it fall like snow tonight
All the weight I carried deep inside
Oh-oh-oh, I’m rising from the cold
Every broken piece, I let it go

Bridge
Years to let go, but it starts right here (right here)
One small step, then another from the fear
If I fall, I’ll fall into the truth
I can’t go back, but I can move

Chorus
I let it go, let it fall like snow tonight
All the weight I carried deep inside
Oh-oh-oh, I’m rising from the cold
Every broken piece, I let it go

I let it go, let it fall like snow tonight
All the chains I wore now crack and slide
Oh-oh-oh, I’m brighter than the old
Every broken piece, I let it go
