Letting Be (वर्ज़न 2)

Intro

(uh)

Yeah

Verse 1

Daddy wanted doctor, mama wanted safe and sound

Wanted me with both feet planted firm into the ground

But I had a melody stuck underneath my skin

Couldn't shake it loose no matter how I tried to begin

Sat at every dinner swallowing the things I dreamed

Smiling through the silence, biting back the things unsaid it seemed

Then one night I packed a bag with everything I own

Left a letter on the counter, left the only world I'd known

Pre-Chorus

And I know it broke a little piece of you

(piece of you, piece of you)

But staying woulda broke the bigger piece in two

(piece of you, piece of you)

Chorus

I'm sorry that the dream looked different than the plan

I'm sorry I became a thing you didn't understand

But I had to chase the sound before I lost my nerve

This the only kind of life I think that I deserve

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm sorry that the dream looked different than the plan

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm sorry I became a thing you didn't understand

Verse 2

I know you wanted certain, wanted something you could trust

Wanted me in a story that made sense, made some kind of just

But the safest life felt like a slow kind of dying

Every quiet dinner had me silently crying

So I took the risk you warned me never ever take

Bet it all on a sound I couldn't shake

And maybe one day you'll hear it on the radio

And know that leaving wasn't ever letting go

Pre-Chorus

And I know it broke a little piece of you

(piece of you, piece of you)

But staying woulda broke the bigger piece in two

(piece of you, piece of you)

Chorus

I'm sorry that the dream looked different than the plan

I'm sorry I became a thing you didn't understand

But I had to chase the sound before I lost my nerve

This the only kind of life I think that I deserve

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm sorry that the dream looked different than the plan

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm sorry I became a thing you didn't understand

Bridge

Not letting go

(not letting go)

Just letting be

(letting be)

I carry home inside the music

Even when you can't see

Chorus

I'm sorry that the dream looked different than the plan

I'm sorry I became a thing you didn't understand

But I had to chase the sound before I lost my nerve

This the only kind of life I think that I deserve

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm sorry that the dream looked different than the plan

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm sorry I became a thing you didn't understand

Outro
