Let It Fall

You keep staring through me like I'm a memory
Haunted eyes replaying what should have been
You say you wanna stay but I can see you're scared to love again

You built your walls from broken names and I can feel them shake when I say your name
You hide your pain behind a laugh that fades like thunder rolling after rain
And I'm not him I swear I'll prove there's more than ghosts inside your truth
But every time you pull away I feel you fighting what's brand new

I know it hurts to start again
But baby this could be the end
Of all the nights you cried alone
Of all the places that don't feel like home

Let it fall let the past burn down
You don't need his ashes in your crown
I'm right here I'm not like them
We can build from what's been broken just let him go
He'll never love you like I do
He won't see your fire the way I do
You can doubt the world but don't doubt me
I love the cracks you try to hide from me

You say you're scared I'll leave someday
Like everyone else just walked away
But baby I'm not running scared
I'm running to you not from what's there
You don't have to keep your armor on
Your past was heavy but it's gone
I see the fire under all that fear
And I'm not letting it disappear
Let me touch what you've been hiding
Let's stop surviving start deciding

Let it fall let the past burn down
You don't need his ashes in your crown
I'm right here I'm not like them
We can build from what's been broken just let him go
He'll never love you like I do
He won't see your fire the way I do
You can doubt the world but don't doubt me
I love the cracks you try to hide from me

You're not the sum of what they've done
You're not the weight of anyone
You're fire and light and when you breathe
I swear it sets the dark in me free

Let it fall let the storm roll through
You don't have to carry what's not you
I'll hold your heart through every scar
You don't have to heal alone this far
Just let him go he'll never love you like I do
He can't touch your soul the way I do
You can doubt the world but don't doubt me
We're the storm they'll never see coming
