The water hits my face and it takes it all away. I wish the rain could be here to stay.
My feet hit the ground and I'm not running this time.  I won't go another round on your carousel ride.
I am looking past your smile and looking for another open door. You had your hooks in for a while.
I'm not falling to pieces. I'm not waiting for you to make me whole. I'm not looking for reasons to get to you or save my soul.
I'm not turning back to see if you ate, or if you are cold, or find out about your day.
I'm just holding onto me and I'm letting you go.
It may be colder out tonight but the wind feels good on my skin.
For the first time I feel alright. I can't remember how long it has been.

Now I've finally set myself free from the love that you took in vain.
I've stripped away things I don't need and I am letting go of the pain.
So this is where it ends for us. I can take it from here on my own.
You don't know what it is to love, so I am letting you go.
