Letting It Go

I've been holding onto my past
Like it's something I need
But now I'm gonna' start
Packing it all up to leave

And I'll leave it behind
And I'll run to the sun
I will no longer hide
Or live my life on the run

Thought you had it all right
Thought I had it all wrong
Sleepless every night
And it lasted too long
But I'm done with your words
And now I'm moving on
So I'm no longer hurt
By memories that clung on

All the words that you said
And everything that I felt
I just replayed in my head
Hoping it might soon fall out

But I've finally learnt
And I finally know
That the past is a curse
You can choose to let go

Had me judging myself
Had me falling for all
Of the venom you'd spout
And every name that you'd call
But I'm done with that time
I'm forgiving you all
Because now I can find
A world that is beautiful

I went through that hell
But I still made it here
Every time that I fell
Overtaken by fear

It all taught me to fight
And it taught me to live
See I finally found light
In the cracks and the slits

So I'm dropping it all
And I'm letting it go
As I finally saw
That can't help me to grow
