Letting Go

Letting Go

Dismiss the dreams
And break the chains
Time to let go of what was
Say goodbye to what we had
The future is not what it seemed

No sense in continuing
To chase the ghosts
Grasping at things that don’t exist
Nothing but a hopeless myth
A carefully woven illusion
Pulled over our eyes
Blinding to us to the truth
Leading us to believe in lies

No more hoping, no more plans
Just a dark, cold emptiness
A dismal farewell to broken promises
Nothing left to hold on to
Simply let go and fly away

No reason to wish for things to change
We’ve grown too far apart
Broken hearts cannot heal
As long as the knife is twisted
Time to move on, pull away
Say goodbye to yesterday
And live for the moment
Hoping for a better tomorrow

Letting go slowly
In time the pain will fade
Become simply a dull ache
As I watch you drift away
Out of reach, out of my life

You’re free…
