[Intro]
Soft rain drums on the windowpane, a whisper of your name fades to gray.
I trace the hollow you left on my chest, where our laughter used to stay.
[Verse 1]
The room wears your shadow like a coat I can't button up,
I find your notes tucked in the pocket where I kept our dawns and cups.
Your laughter lingers on the mirror but slips through my fingers in the dawn,
I count the quiet seconds until the ache decides to move on.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I numb the night, will the morning remember me less?
If I breathe out slow, can I learn again to confess?
[Chorus]
Letting go is a soft goodbye I hear in the rain,
A mercy I grant to the heart that kept us afloat in vain.
I'll keep the lessons like stars that never truly fade,
And rise with the dawn, even when the past feels brave and trained.
[Verse 2]
I taste the memory of your kiss in the air that surrounds my room,
A lilac lullaby that once grew wild now tucks itself into my gloom.
I walk the street where we carved our names in summer's fragile skin,
Each step a quiet vote to choose myself again.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I forgive the ache, will the pain soften in the light?
If I let the water go, will the harbor greet me right?
[Chorus]
Letting go is a soft goodbye I hear in the rain,
A mercy I grant to the heart that kept us afloat in vain.
I'll keep the lessons like stars that never truly fade,
And rise with the dawn, even when the past feels brave and trained.
[Bridge]
I whisper to the rain to carry your shadow away,
To tell the old whispers I am choosing a different way.
If memory is a river, I’ll learn to sail it slow,
Not to erase you, but to free the places you used to know.
[Chorus]
Letting go is a soft goodbye I hear in the rain,
A mercy I grant to the heart that kept us afloat in vain.
I'll keep the lessons like stars that never truly fade,
And rise with the dawn, even when the past feels brave and trained.
[Outro]
Quiet is the breath I owe to morning light,
I walk through the room where hope returns in quiet light.
I am learning to love the echo of my own name again,
Slowly, softly, letting go, and letting life begin.
