Letting Go

(album: The Detour - 2018)

If there's a million ways to say goodbye
And then I've practiced a million and one times
Yeah, read every card and letter that we wrote
Like who the fuck is that person I think I used to know?
And I'm not talking about you, I'm talking me
Like I've been oblivious, the changes that are happening
You ever wake up realizing that you fell off track?
Look in the mirror and you got a stranger looking back
Danger, danger, I'm really taking a toll this time
And I'm betting and I believe, so my principals tryna toll the line
I can't complain because it's probably just a phase
When I know I have to explain it to my friends and they won't understand
Energy drained from tryna blow on the flame, but I suffocated the oxygen
I guess it didn't go as planned
Standing at the years without a thought to where to go
They say the life is pain, so fuck it, there's the road
Spare the show, 'cause we already know the ending, huh?
I heard the sound before I realized the door was shut
You know what? I am fucked up
But more than that, I'm so done with wearing it like a fucking badge
I sold my soul but now I want it back
Tryna recapture the feelings that I used to have
Yeah, you want a martyr? Then kill me first
They say the death is really feeling worse
But when I find out, I'll let you know
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry for finally letting go

I want to let you go
But your love is all I know
Won't you save me from my soul?
The hardest part is
Letting go, oh
Letting go, oh
Letting go, oh, ooh
The hardest part is
Letting go, oh
Letting go, oh, ooh

Yeah, and I know we probably could've work this out
The second time, the third time, the fourth time around
And it gets dizzy and then we back off, we act, wail, fuck up and then we back on
Like how does that makes sense? I'm tryna level here
I guess the water seeks its own and that's been crystal clear
Today, to day is like the same and all the nerves are shut
Then slur talk got you thinking, you ain't heard a lot
I used to fear the day you leave, but now it's worse to wait
And tear me up like I've been rubbing on this grip tape
I'm feeling misplaced, mismatched and misfiled
I miss the old me, miss love and miss smiles
Yeah, I can't explain the way you pull the strings but
I'm not a puppet Geppetto, like what the fuck you think?
You want a ring but only run me 'round in circles for it
And got me stuck right in the middle, like a fucking chorus
Of course it's not just you, I've got some issues too
But this is not some shit that I need to fix with you
You listen to all of these songs that you go find enlightenment
But you can't even find me and I'm the one who writes it
So light this, fire burnt down the bridge
Cut these ties to the words on your lips
And next time you speak of me I'll be gone, I'll be, gone...

I want to let you go (Wanna let you know)
But your love is all I know (All I know)
Won't you save me from my soul? (Save me from my soul)
The hardest part is (Hardest part is)
Letting go, oh
Letting go, oh
Letting go, oh, ooh
The hardest part is
Letting go, oh
Letting go, oh, ooh
The hardest part is...
Save me from my soul
Save me from my soul
The hardest part is
Letting go, oh
Letting go, oh, ooh
The hardest part is
Letting go, oh
Letting go, oh, ooh
