Lyrics Rise Against – This Is Letting Go

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

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

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
