Letting Go
Still chokin’ on my thank you note
While I got my apology burnin’ on the tip of my tongue
This is me bursting at the seams
‘cause I am a walkin’ talkin’ fault line
Cement cracking at the epicenter of heartbreak
And water logged
From all the sweat
Building on my cheeks
Livin’ in a parking lot
And couch surfin’ this wave
Till I run lines in the floor
It gets cold at night
Too warm in the day
Now though
Just need some mercy
And just enough strength to finish this
Just enough words to regurgitate a reason
For leavin’ like this
Just enough time to learn to walk away
Just enough God left in the souls of my feet to keep me standin’
Not nearly enough heart to break anymore
Not enough weight in this place to tie me down anymore
It’s all I got
And now I’m letting it go
