Letting Go of Yesterday

Verse
Anchored down for twenty-six long years,
Caught in the currents of love and fears.
Held onto the vows, the dreams we built,
But now I see it, the weight of the guilt.
Letting go of the "we" I used to know,
It’s time to set sail, it’s time to let go.

Pre-Chorus
No more pretending, no more lies,
The heart has learned, it’s time to fly.
I thought forever was in our hands,
But now I’m learning where I stand.

Chorus
I’m letting go of the anchor that held me tight,
The life I knew as husband and wife.
Breaking free from the chains that once defined,
Finding my own way, leaving you behind.
I’m letting go, oh, I’m letting go,
Of the love, the labels, the life I used to know.

Verse
We painted a picture, framed in gold,
But the colors faded, the story grew old.
I tried to hold on, I tried to believe,
But love’s not the same when you can’t breathe.
Now I’m searching for the woman inside,
The one I lost while standing by your side.

Pre-Chorus
No more looking back, no more pain,
I’m stepping out, through the pouring rain.
There’s a light ahead, I see it clear,
The future’s calling, and I’ve lost my fear.

Chorus
I’m letting go of the anchor that held me tight,
The life I knew as husband and wife.
Breaking free from the chains that once defined,
Finding my own way, leaving you behind.
I’m letting go, oh, I’m letting go,
Of the love, the labels, the life I used to know.

Bridge
The past is a chapter, a book that I’ll close,
I’ve learned what I needed, I’ve outgrown those roads.
There’s beauty in endings, in making a start,
And I’ll carry the lessons, but leave behind the heart.

Chorus
I’m letting go of the anchor that held me tight,
The life I knew as husband and wife.
Breaking free from the chains that once defined,
Finding my own way, leaving you behind.
I’m letting go, oh, I’m letting go,
Of the love, the labels, the life I used to know.

Outro
I’m letting go of yesterday,
And finding myself along the way.
It’s time to soar, to live, to be,
In letting go, I’m finally free.
