Levity

Spinning away from our youth, from ourselves
Weaving in and out of regret
Learning to let it go, pulling me behind the needle
The threads of who I was when you died, unwinding me to my core

I see you every night, in my dreams we are eye-to-eye
I'm ringing out moments, memories, simpler times
And strangers still and speechless,
I can't find the words to say goodbye

Loss has taught me nothing except how to live without you
Searching for peace of mind and the strength to carry on
I don't blame you for wanting to leave this world of pain
My only option is believing there's still love left for me

I never meant to put this on you
Learning to let it go, pulling me behind the needle

I've been counting down the days
Until I don't want to escape the burden of life
From this broken world I see

I release myself
I am finally free!
