Free

I kept my soul held captive

While I was searching for the truth

Subconsciously, I tried

To place the blame on you

But the first slip was my own

And we never did bounce back

Once you open up the door

The demons relentlessly attack

Now I feel like forgiving

Is what I need to go on living

So tonight I set us free

I forgive both you and me

For the damage that was done

And the war that can’t be won

There’s no right and there’s no wrong

We hurt each other for too long

Our choices bring enormous fees

Until we set them free

There’s resentment on both sides

And they’re equally the same

And to argue for a victor

Would be to give in to the game

Anger comes at quite a price

And I no longer want to play

Even if I end up the good guy

In the end, you still can’t stay

I know you think I am unkind

But there’s no way to rewind

So tonight I set us free

I forgive both you and me

For the damage that was done

And the war that can’t be won

There’s no right and there’s no wrong

We hurt each other for too long

Our choices bring us to our knees

Until we set them free

I release all of my anger

All of my discontent

Because it will be the death of me

How you came and how you went

So tonight I set us free

I forgive both you and me

For the damage that was done

And the war that can’t be won

There’s no right and there’s no wrong

We hurt each other for too long

Our choices bring enormous fees

And knock us to our knees

It'll be the death of you and me

Until we are set free

Letting go comes with survivor's guilt... especially when you're the one who pulls the trigger on the relationship... I know I couldn't stay, but that doesn't mean that I don't wish things could have ended differently. I hope anyone reading this can relate... it's refreshing to be able to write again... Too bad it has to be under these circumstances...
