Letting Go
Slow, intimate country pop ballad over warm piano and soft pads; my female vocals, close-mic’d and fragile at first. Verses stay sparse with subtle strings swelling into a louder, aching chorus. Second chorus brings stacked harmonies and a distant tom pattern, ending on a gentle, unresolved chord to leave the hurt hanging., sad

Lyrics
Verse 1
Sunrise paints the window
Another day to try
Holding on to memories
But I can't remember why
Every echo in this hallway
Every shadow on the wall
Reminds me of the moments
When I used to have it all
Chorus
Letting go
Like the river meets the sea
I'm learning to surrender
Set these heavy dreams free
Every love behind me
Every tear I've cried
I'll find my tomorrow
On the other side
Verse 2
Photographs and letters
Scattered on the floor
Promises and wishes that don't feed me anymore
I'm stronger in the breaking
Softer in the fall
Learning to forgive myself
After losing it all
Chorus
Letting go
Like the river meets the sea
I'm learning to surrender
Set these heavy dreams free
Every love behind me
Every tear I've cried
I'll find my tomorrow
On the other side
Bridge
There's freedom in the leaving
Hoping the unknown
I'm dancing with the silence
Finally on my own
Chorus
Letting go
Like the river meets the sea
I'm learning to surrender
Set these heavy dreams free
Every love behind me
Every tear I've cried
I'll find my tomorrow
On the other side
Outro
The other side
