i was lost, i was hurt
i was trapped out at sea
i was swimming in circles of circles
in the last place i wanted to be

i was holding on to a love i knew so long
i thought it must be keeping me afloat
only when i was down
only when i was drowning
did i finally feel the hands on my throat

i looked my fear in the eyes
looked at the water below
i knew i could love or live

i let it go

i walked in the dark
i walked in the rain
i walked for miles and miles and years
all i knew was heartache and pain

i was weighted with a hate i held so long
i thought it must be guiding me home
only when i was crossed
only when i was lost
did i finally see it left me all alone

i looked my fear in the eyes
looked at the cold ground below
i knew i could love or die

i let it go

four on the floor
two in the air
out of the sand
out of the sky
into the flow
