Letting Go

I watch the orange flame burn
Grey ashes blow away
Pictures from the past
Earn their worth
Old wounds are re-opened
And the fight still rages inside

Now I’m letting go…..
I’m letting go of all these things
That cause so much pain

When this fire burns out
The darkness in the sky
Will bring a brand new start
And the rest is what I need

Stories and jokes make them laugh
I’m too numb to follow along
Old memories haunt my mind
They don’t know what’s going on inside

Sometimes fun isn’t really fun
Because I’m trapped in the past
Just can’t adapt to something normal

Now I’m letting go…..
I’m letting go of all these things
That cause so much pain

I’ve tried too many times
To put out this fire
That needs to burn itself out

I’m letting it go.
