Rise Against - This Is Letting Go

Once upon a time I could take anything
I always stepped in time, regardless of the beat
I moved my feet, I carried weight
What I could not do I faked
I dug seeking treasure
Just to wake up in an early grave
I stopped right then and said

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
This 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 notice 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 one 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

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 now.\"

Go on alone
Because 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
