The Year Of Letting Go

*(Verse 1)*
I set the table for two, but it’s only me
Forks and knives like artifacts of what we used to be
The ghost of your touch still lingers in the air
Like perfume on a scarf I forgot I used to wear

*(Pre-Chorus)*
And I rewrite the story, but the ending won’t change
Your shadow’s still walking through memory’s stage

*(Chorus)*
So I’ll call it the year of letting go
Of leaving the past where the cold winds blow
No elegies, no long goodbyes
Just silence where the sorrow lies

*(Verse 2)*
Your letters sit unread, but I know every word
Like scripture from a life that now feels absurd
I trace the lines where our love once stayed
A faded blueprint time couldn’t save

*(Pre-Chorus)*
And I rewrite the story, but the pages stay torn
Some love is just meant to be mourned

*(Chorus)*
So I’ll call it the year of letting go
Of leaving the past where the cold winds blow
No elegies, no long goodbyes
Just silence where the sorrow lies

*(Bridge)*
Maybe the truth is, we never quite end
We live in the echoes, we bend and we bend
But I won’t be the woman who waits in the past
I’ll learn how to leave, I’ll learn how to last

*(Outro)*
So I’ll call it the year of letting go
One breath, one step, through the afterglow
No elegies, no long goodbyes
Just silence now—where love once lied
