Now I stand (E585)

Yeah… For everyone who held on when their heart said go, for everyone who lost themselves just to make love grow. Now I let it go, now I’m starting again, I follow my heartbeat through the night and rain. I stand where our memories once burned bright, but I see a new road opening in sight. Your words play in circles, but I’m turning them down, I’m leaving what took more than it gave all around. The bass hits hard, the heartbeat runs, I feel alive beneath the rising sun. We danced on broken glass, but it shattered apart, now I choose my steps, I protect my heart. Sometimes “I love you” means losing me, forgetting who I was just so you could see. Sometimes I stayed when I wanted to run, believing love meant holding on. Sometimes “I love you” means letting go, finding the strength that I needed to know. A voice inside me is finally clear: “Choose your own life, leave behind the fear.” Every promise grew cold, every word grew thin, a house without a foundation cannot begin. I heard every lie, I carried each scar, then silence asked me, “How long will you stay?” The bass hits hard, my heartbeat is strong, I leave the old shadows where they belong. No more chains, no more demands, I take back my life with my own two hands. Maybe love cannot always lead us home, when frightened hearts refuse to roam. Maybe letting go is the way to see, that love can mean setting someone free. Now I stand with my heart in my hand, watching a new dawn rise over new land. I lost so much, but I found my voice: “Choose yourself, and make your choice.” The bass hits hard, the rhythm runs, I’m free, I’m standing, I’ve overcome. I loved you deeply, now I finally see: sometimes love means setting you free.
