i'm going to let it go
to leave my mind and hits the notes
i'm letting it go
not for anyone but me
i'm letting all go
all the things in my life that have hurt
i'm letting them go
in the end i'm the only one suffering
i'm the only one crying
i'm the only one wondering where i went wrong
what i could've done to fix it
well sometimes you can't fix it
i've done a lot of mending in my life
i've patched a band aid on the cut
stitched up the wound
and i've carried others when they couldn't carry themselves
the people that have hurt me in life
they are not sorry
no matter how good i tried
no matter how much kindness i give
there is always something wrong
always something to hate
to carry the weight of that on your own
well it's a miserable journey
so i'm letting it all go
I don't need a "i'm sorry" from anyone
I don't need anyone to fix anything
i've let it all hit me when it hardly hit you
i'm not sorry if i cut you out of my life
i'm not sorry if we no longer speak
i'm not sorry i'm not putting in the effort to "make it work"
none of you were ever sorry until i left
but i won't hold it against you
we are all human
but just because i'm letting it go
doesn't mean i'm letting you back in
i am often told i don't care about anyone but myself
that would be far from the truth
i care too much
ultimately that's what kills me in the end of every story
i care too much about everyone but me
i care so much i look past all the things you did wrong
i take the blame and the cycle repeats
but as i let everything go
i'm letting this go too
i care about myself
i care about who i am
i care about who i love
i care about who i keep close
and that's enough for me
