Let You Grow

I hope you find the brightest days ahead
A life that's full of light and peace instead
We had our moments, kept them safe inside
But I won't hold you back, won't let you hide

Years from now, I'll be a shadow in your past
You'll see how letting go helped us grow apart, at last
I know the space I gave was what you needed
For all the dreams you hold, to not stay uncompleted

You deserve the world, I hope it's kind
Don't let them play with that heart of mine
You've got a love that's rare, more than gold
Don't let it slip for those who leave you cold
I set you free so you could find what's true
And trust me when I say it's better for you

I forgive the ways we lost our stride
The things you did, I let them slide
You're young, there's still so much to learn
I wish for you that gentle turn

Years from now, I'll be a shadow in your past
You'll see how letting go helped us grow apart, at last
I know the space I gave was what you needed
For all the dreams you hold, to not stay uncompleted

You deserve the world, I hope it's kind
Don't let them play with that heart of mine
You've got a love that's rare, more than gold
Don't let it slip for those who leave you cold
I set you free so you could find what's true
And trust me when I say it's better for you

You'll grow into someone who's meant to thrive
The grief we shared won't keep you tied
Take care, don't let them take you for granted
Your love's a gift, more than enchanted

Keep it safe, a corner in your heart
Where we were once, where we played our part
But the best thing I did was let you fly
So you could reach where you belong, no goodbye

I set you free so you could find what's true
And trust me when I say it's better for you
