Letting Go (feat. Lola Ade)

Luh!

We always lived life like a merry-go
Had ups and downs, fairly though
It was kinda fun but kinda scary though
'Cause I never could really see clearly, yo!
We were moving way too fast
Just living in the moment
Time passed and I slowly
Got fond of your company
I wanted more of you
You wanted more of me
So we did whatever we wanted
You were my Bonnie, I was your Clyde
Knew our loving was toxic
While I laid comfortably by your side
We lived life like we owned it
And I loved every feeling it brought
You gave me everything that I wanted
At least that's what I thought
Until I got down on my knee
And I couldn't pray
Felt the tears in my eyes
When I realised that I couldn't stay
And I realised that you had to go
And I realised that it couldn't wait
And I realised that I wrote this song
When I realised that I had to say

I'm letting go
Walking away
This life we shared
Ain't here to stay
It's poisonous
This heart of lust
So, I'm leaving you
Better this way
The hold you had on me
Ends today
A greater love I've found
Better say our goodbyes now

We've been going at it for a long time
Probably longer than a long time
Probably longer than it ever should've gone
Thank God, God was on time
Came and showed me who you really were
Then He showed me who I really am
Now I'm free and on God,
You will never have a hold on me again
I'm taking back the life I gave to ya
I ain't gonna be a slave to ya
Fighting for my mind
Fighting for my will
Fighting for the soul I gave to ya
I'm done always trying to please you
Done always trying to please me
Now I'm living for the One who gave it all up
In a minute to release me
From every promise that I made to ya
And every lie that you promised me
From every treasure that I laid in ya
And every pleasure that I honestly
Never thought that I'd let go of
Now I see pretty vividly
That now I'm free and that's great but
I can only do this if you lead me

I'm letting go
Walking away
This life we shared
Ain't here to stay
It's poisonous
This heart of lust
So, I'm leaving you
Better this way
The hold you had on me
Ends today
A greater love I've found

Blinded eyes are open now
Every scale is falling down
No longer slaves
'Cause I see you for what you are
And in His name we say your reign is over now
'Cause who the Son sets free
Is free indeed
Oh I'm free indeed
Who the Son sets free
Is free indeed
Oh I'm free from needing you

I'm letting go
This life we shared
Was poisonous (Oh yeah)
I'm leaving you
The hold you had on me
Better say our goodbyes...
