Late-Night Receipts

Late night streetlights on my window glass

I keep replaying what we should′ve had

Old days glowing in the dark again

Every little word feels like a question

Our adrenaline's too long

Hoping silence might prove me wrong

But the truth is standing there all alone

And my heart is tired of holding on

So I let go, I let go

Of the love that wouldn't grow

I was holding on a smile

Now I'm learning how to lose control

I let go, I let go

Even when it hurts to know

You were never mine to keep

So tonight I'm finally free

I screw past the proof and the little lies

The way we faded in plain sight

I used to chase every afterglow

Now I see what I refuse to know

I read between the lines

Too long, hoping silence might prove me wrong

But the truth is standing there all alone

And my heart is tired of holding on

I let go, I let go

Of the love that wouldn't grow

I was holding on to smoke

Now I'm learning how to lose control

I let go, I let grow

Even when it hurts to know

You were never mine to keep

So tonight I'm finally free

No more midnight messages

No more ghosted questions

No more trying to rebuild what we broke by just existing

I can feel the hurt unwind

Like a city fading past the light

I won't chase what left me cold

I'm soft, I'm sad

But I'm home

I let go, I let go

Of the love that couldn't grow

I was holding on a spark

Now I'm learning how to lose control

I let go, I let it go

And the hurt is leaving slow

You were never mine to keep

So tonight I'm finally free
