How To Let Go Songtext
von August Greenwood

It′s true, I am built like a tree
My branches reach out
And my roots dig into everything around me
I've no use for tears
And you′ve noticed
I fear almost everything
I don't have the option to break
Cause all of the people I love have their lives at stake
I feel so selfish
I feel so insecure when I'm in pain

Please don′t hold me

I wouldn′t know how to let go
When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
And the roots will dig into your soul
I wanna go home


I am a shapeshifter too
All of my colors can change if you want them to
Suited for you
All of my roots help me choose who to be
I don't have control of my past
And even though I know that, I still feel at fault
For the things I′ve been through
I still would be sorry if it wasn't for you

Please don′t hold me

I wouldn't know how to let go
When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
And the roots will dig into your soul
I wanna go home

I am the daughter of cups
Everything to offer, but it′s never enough
I'll give you my soul if it means I will fill up that hole in your heart

Please don't hold me

I′m still learning how to let go
When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
And the roots will dig into your soul
I wanna go home

I will never know if you′re sorry
You will never know how you hurt me
And I wonder if you think about the nights we spent on concrete floors
Or the words you said behind closed doors


I am protecting my heart
Digging up my roots to replant for a start
I shake your hand
Make peace with the land that you held over me
Which you'll never see
