Letting Me Go

I’ve waited long, I’ve tried so hard  
To hold together every part  
But something kind is breaking through  
A voice that sounds like something new
It doesn’t hurt the way it did  
I think I’m healing from within
It’s not about letting you go  
It’s me I’m finally freeing, slow  
I kept the weight, I played the role  
Now I’m choosing to be whole  
It’s strange but sweet, and now I know  
I’m letting me go
I blamed myself for loving blind  
For not seeing the signs in time  
But truth is quiet, soft and wide  
And it just whispered: I survived
And I forgive the girl I was  
She held on 'cause she thought it was love
It’s not about letting you go  
It’s me I’m finally freeing, slow  
I kept the weight, I played the role  
Now I’m choosing to be whole  
It’s strange but sweet, and now I know  
I’m letting me go
