[Verse 1]
Let go of hands that never reach
Of hearts that hide just out of reach
Let go of love that makes you small
Of those who never gave their all
[Verse 2]
Let go of words that sound like lies
Of silent rooms and empty eyes
Let go of dreams they couldn’t keep
Of promises they left in sleep
[Chorus]
Let go, not out of anger
Let go, with open grace
You’re not too much, you’re not too little
You just need a softer place
Let go of those not ready
To hold what you became
You’re worthy of a steady flame
[Verse 3]
Let go of smiles that come and go
Of footsteps fading soft and slow
Let go of love that asks you less
Of someone who just made a mess
[Chorus]
Let go, not out of anger
Let go, with quiet light
You gave your heart, you stayed too long
Now give yourself the right
Let go of those not ready
To meet you where you stand
You’re reaching out with open hands
[Bridge]
And someone’s out there waiting
With a love that’s full and true
But first you have to make the space
To let them come to you
[Final Chorus]
Let go, not out of sorrow
Let go, with strength and peace
The ones who aren’t prepared to love
Deserve a sweet release
Let go of those not ready
To cherish what you give
So you can finally start to live
