[Verse 1]
I told you softly that the fire was gone
Holding on too long would only keep us wrong
Your eyes were quiet, but you understood
We loved as deeply as we ever could
[Chorus]
I let you go, though it tore me apart
We can’t go back, but I’ll guard what we are
This broken line is the start of the way
Where hope is waiting for a brighter day
[Verse 2]
The nights are heavy with the things unsaid
Dreams we built now only live inside my head
But in the silence I can hear it clear
Every ending pulls a new world near
[Chorus]
I let you go, though it tore me apart
We can’t go back, but I’ll guard what we are
This broken line is the start of the way
Where hope is waiting for a brighter day
[Bridge]
I didn’t leave because the love was small
I left because we couldn’t stand at all
Sometimes the hardest truth will set us free
And love means letting go of you and me
[Chorus]
I let you go, though it tore me apart
We can’t go back, but I’ll guard what we are
This broken line is the start of the way
Where hope is waiting for a brighter day
