Letting Go

We are the lights shining bright in many different colours

All just trying to make our own way while hoping for positive change

There are those who hide among us in the darkness not willing to grow

When I found her she gave me a reason, a reason not to be alone

The way the hair sits on her shoulders

Reminds me of october and how the leaves all fall

I used to run with the wolves and watch them prey upon the weak

I watched them climb up on their pedestals and look at those beneath

I was a voice among the many a coward in their ranks

I placed faith in hollow people and heard them talk behind my back

But there are honest people here and I spent a year with them

This place doesn’t feel the same

These days our hearts skip to a different beat

We’ve all got problems

Some with moving on and some with letting go

But I still feel it in my bones like giving up

Would feel so wrong and no matter where you go

I hope you find your way back home

I drove past out old house just to see how it felt

Remember when we burned the furniture

So we wouldn’t fucking freeze to death

I fell apart like my father before me

They promised the world while my family ignored me

I spent so many nights here

And now nothing feels right
