How To Let Go Lyrics

It's true, I am built like a tree

My branches reach out

And my roots dig into everything around me

I've no use for tears

And you've noticed

I fear almost everything

I don't have the option to break

Cause all of the people I love have their lives at stake

I feel so selfish

I feel so insecure when I'm in pain

Please don't hold me

I wouldn't know how to let go

When the forest inside my heart continues to grow

And the roots will dig into your soul

I wanna go home

I am a shapeshifter too

All of my colors can change if you want them to

Suited for you

All of my roots help me choose who to be

I don't have control of my past

And even though I know that, I still feel at fault

For the things I've been through

I still would be sorry if it wasn't for you

Please don't hold me

I wouldn't know how to let go

When the forest inside my heart continues to grow

And the roots will dig into your soul

I wanna go home

I am the daughter of cups

Everything to offer, but it's never enough

I'll give you my soul if it means I will fill up that hole in your heart

Please don't hold me

I'm still learning how to let go

When the forest inside my heart continues to grow

And the roots will dig into your soul

I wanna go home

I will never know if you're sorry

You will never know how you hurt me

And I wonder if you think about the nights we spent on concrete floors

Or the words you said behind closed doors

I am protecting my heart

Digging up my roots to replant for a start

I shake your hand

Make peace with the land that you held over me

Which you'll never see
