Let You Be Lyrics

Let You Be

I used to trace the lines on your face,

Memorized the way your heartbeat raced.

But now your name is fading slow,

In places I don't want to go.

I held on tight, thought it'd keep you near,

But love can't stay in a cage of fear.

You slipped through my fingers, and I finally see,

Sometimes letting go is what sets us free.

So I'm gonna let you be,

A ghost in the memories I set free.

No more holding on to what's not mine,

Leaving our story in another time.

I'm letting you be, I'm letting you be.

I saved every word you wrote to me,

Kept them hidden where no one could see.

But I've grown tired of empty pages,

Living on love that never ages.

You were once my world, my only light,

But shadows fall even on the bright.

And I know now what I couldn't see,

That I need to lose you to find me.

So I'm gonna let you be,

A ghost in the memories I set free.

No more holding on to what's not mine,

Leaving our story in another time.

I'm letting you be, I'm letting you be.

Maybe someday, we'll meet again,

As strangers who've forgotten when.

But for now, I'll let the past remain,

In whispers of love we can't reclaim.

So I'm gonna let you be,

A ghost in the memories I set free.

No more holding on to what's not mine,

Leaving our story in another time.

I'm letting you be, I'm letting you be.

And as I walk away, I feel the weight,

Of every word we didn't say.

I'm leaving it here, in the quiet air,

Finally learning to love and care—for me.
