Paper Plane (Live)

Walk out with your head held high but you're shaken
You hold back a cry but your heart is breaking
Finally see the route that your life was taking
Thought you had a reason, but your mind is blanking
And it seemed so important at the time
To hold onto your pain like it was your life
But now
Let it go, let it lie
Like a white paper plane, let it fly
Let it go, let it be
As long as you need to, and then, be free

You thought you were living when you were dying
But grief and forgiveness don't have a timing
You tried to forget but it felt like lying
Waited for the words to come
But then you're crying
Because it seemed so important at the time
To hold onto your pain like it was your life
But now
Let it go, let it lie
Like a white paper plane, let it fly
Let it go, let it be
As long as you need to, and then, be free

You've weathered the path through the winter solstice
Retrieving its patience not its coldness
And it may return with bitter boldness
But if it comes back you don't have to hold it
No
Just let it go, let it lie
Like a white paper plane, let it fly
Let it go, let it be
As long as you need to, and then

As long as you need to, and then
Be free
