Letting Go, Taking Control
Strips of light through my window shades
Light these stripped down walls
In a whole new way
I can’t believe just how much I’ve changed
And there’s still so much to celebrate
Packed up my life
And unpacked my pride
In cardboard moving boxes
Covering the floor
A change of pace and a change of mind
It’s a blank slate
And I’ll I’ve got is time
Cause I’m still writing my story on the bedroom walls
It’s messy and imperfect, don’t hold back at all
I’m just grateful for each chapter
Through hurt, the cries and laughs
No I won’t look back
Now I’m staring at the ceiling
Knowing I can bе
Stronger than I once beliеved
I’m lost inside the present
Like a memory
Cause I know I’m always free
Cause I know that I am always free
I used to believe that freedom was an endgame
That one day I’d rid myself completely of my shadows and insecurities
But they’re as much of a part of you as your passions, beliefs and wildest day dreams
I’m not perfect but I’m still learning
To shake hands with my ghosts
Letting go and taking control
And I’ve begun to realize
Happiness isn’t the freedom from pain
It is freedom in spite of it
