I open up my hands and I let you goI don't keep the anger like a coal anymoreI set it on the table by the closing doorI read the final message, didn't type a replyJust whispered you a soft and an honest goodbyeNo bitterness, no debt I need you to oweI'm laying down the weight that I carried soAnd I let you go, I let you goWishing you the kindest of the roads that you'll knowI let you go, with nothing but a glowNot because I'm broken — I have learned, and I growOh, I let you goI hope you find a morning that is gentle and slowI hope somebody loves you in a way I could not showI forgave the both of us for the seeds we did sowAnd the garden that we couldn't make it growNo bitterness, no debt I need you to oweI'm laying down the weight that I carried soAnd I let you go, I let you goWishing you the kindest of the roads that you'll knowI let you go, with nothing but a glowNot because I'm broken — I have learned, and I growOh, I let you goPeace, peace, it settles like a snowMercy on the both of us, that's all I want to sowI am not your enemy, just someone you used to knowAnd that is holy, that is whole — I let you goNo chains in my hands, just a warm and steady glowAnd I mean it when I say it now — I let you go---
