Rise Against - This Is Letting Go lyrics

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything. I always stepped in time, regardless of the beat I moved my feet, I carried weight What I could not do I faked I dug seeking treasure just to wake up in an early grave I stopped right then and said Go on alone Because I won't follow But this isn't giving up No, this is letting go Out with the old Dreams I've borrowed The path I carve from here on out will be my own This path will be my own This is the part where the needle skips and the chorus plays Like a sink that drips A syllable repeating Like a warning we aren't heeding until all of A sudden we notice it When the wheels brace and the tires grip A map we've been misreading A defeat we're not conceding until now There must be some other way out Go on alone Because I won't follow But this isn't giving up No, this is letting go Out with the old Dreams I've borrowed The path I carve from here on out will be my own The path to take me home The wind died The whole world ceased to move Now so quiet Her beating heart became a boom We locked eyes For just a moment or two She asked why I said, "I don't know why" Go on alone Because I won't follow This isn't giving up No, this is letting go I made the most Of all this sorrow I tried to brave this Discontent but now I'm through I'm letting go of you
