Letting It Go

I can feel that it's leaving

Inching its way towards the door

I can still hear it breathing

But not so deafening loud anymore

I've never been good at giving up the ghost

But now I'm getting painfully close to

Letting it go

Suck it up, you're not the only

One who's bleeding where no one can see

Sure you're alone, but it's the lonely

That's aiming for your dignity

I've swallowed all the poison I can take

Now it's time to stop for the sake of

Letting it go

Darling believe me when I tell you that this has been almost more than I can take

Now that I know just how far I can go, I will bend but I won't break

Now it's two steps forward

And I'm digging my heels right in

I'm getting too old to repeat this circle

This time I mean what I said

I'm letting it go
