Lyrics

Verse 1

I held on tight, though the ground shook beneath,
Dreaming of forever, afraid to believe.
But love can’t bloom where it can’t stay,
So I release you to find your way.

Chorus

I must let you go, like fire to the land,
Cleansing the ashes, freeing my hands.
This is how I grow, though it breaks me in two,
I’m not enough, not enough for you.

Verse 2

Your eyes looked past me, toward a brighter sky,
I was your shelter, but not your light.
And though it cuts, I finally see,
The kindest thing is setting you free.

Chorus

I must let you go, like fire to the land,
Cleansing the ashes, freeing my hands.
This is how I grow, though it breaks me in two,
I’m not enough, not enough for you.

Bridge

One day the rain will fall, new life will rise,
From scorched earth, from shattered ties.
And maybe then I’ll learn to see,
The fire was never the end of me.

Final Chorus

I must let you go, like fire to the land,
Cleansing the ashes, freeing my hands.
This is how I grow, though it breaks me in two,
I’m not enough, not enough for you.
This is how I grow… in letting go of you.
