| I gotta learn to let go
|
| This darkness, it finds its way through the deepest stretch of night
|
| There’s nowhere to hide
|
| In the back of my mind is where I’ll reside
|
| We never planned for this to become my only escape, the only way out
|
| I can’t do this alone
|
| There’s more for me here but this road is long
|
| I’ll overcome these feelings but things haven’t gone to plan
|
| Wipe the slate clean, erase it
|
| I swear to you
|
| Now I’ll embrace it
|
| Is this all in my head?
|
| A deafening voice that leads me to fear
|
| That I will never ever, never ever know
|
| Just exactly what it means to be happy
|
| It’s so hard to break away
|
| To try and tell myself it’s not too late
|
| It’s not too late to make a change
|
| If this is the end, then make me a martyr
|
| I’ll pave the way for our sons and daughters
|
| So they will never have to face their demons all on their own
|
| No I won’t let go
|
| I won’t let go
|
| But the mind can be a terrible thing
|
| Just don’t let it sink in
|
| Will I break away, find a new escape?
|
| Cause this mindset is eating me up inside
|
| Like a cancer pulling me from the light
|
| Is this just another apparition?
|
| Judging myself on every past decision
|
| This constant noise, it never seems to end
|
| Screaming at myself from inside my head
|
| I share my head with another
|
| And it’s not welcome here
|
| Sometimes at night it keeps me awake
|
| As I stare at the ceiling contemplating my fate
|
| It whispers sweet regrets that I must learn to live with
|
| Singing me to sleep with the same sad songs
|
| Please tell me there is more to me
|
| (Give it up or you’ll never stop falling)
|
| So remember just one thing, don’t let it sink in |
