Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Holding onto the past, but the past isn't here
I have to get away, every day it's more clear
All that I ever knew since birth
So, all I wanted was for you to see my worth
It will never happen, I accept that now
Cut me countless times, but this time I bled out
[Chorus]
The only way I will be okay
Is redirect my brain, you're fully erased
Built a new life and that's all I'll prove
With my new family, you won't know what we do
Letting go for good now is what I have to do
So, this will be the last song I write about you
[Verse 2]
But, before I go, I want you to know
I loved you dearly, that's why I held hope
Longing for the day you would see my side
Now, It's become clear it's not worth the fight
I really need peace, you have damaged my mind
I won't reach my potential if I keep you in mine
[Chorus]
The only way I will be okay
Is redirect my brain, you're fully erased
Built a new life and that's all I'll prove
With my new family, you won't know what we do
Letting go for good now is what I have to do
So, this will be the last song I write about you
[Bridge]
I can't keep writing songs about you
Keeping you around is keeping doubt too
So, I will leave and be gone
After I grieve you one last song
[Chorus]
The only way I will be okay
Is redirect my brain, you're fully erased
Built a new life and that's all I'll prove
With my new family, you won't know what we do
Letting go for good now is what I have to do
So, this will be the last song I write about you
