I'm letting go of everything,
You're not the way you used to be,
And it's just getting colder,
But I'm not regretting this,
I won't make the wrong choice again.
And my eyes sill sting,
From crying 'cause you hurt me.
Now I just can't sing,
My silence is becoming stronger,
With every fault I do burdening.
I won't hide under the rain,
My mind is no more an empty abyss,
And my patience is growing shorter,
But you just can't see,
All the endless nights you bring.
Whatever I say you never agree,
Every day your words getting older.
I won't wait here under our tree,
Its shadow is no longer bliss,
I'm going to break free.
I've held for too long this pain,
And I'm sick of being the only one trying.
For years I kept it in my brain,
But now… you've cut my last string.
