This Is Letting Go - Rise Against

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything

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

So I stopped right there and said

Go on alone, 'cause I won’t follow

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 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 noticed 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

A path to take me home

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

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, I just know»

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

I just know

I just know»

Go on alone, 'cause I won’t follow

But 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

This is letting go

This is letting go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything
