Let It Burn

Verse

Candle wax on the windowsill

Melting slow where your letter still

Holds the shape of a hand I knew

Smoke goes up like it's chasing you

Pre-Chorus

Do I hold on

Or open my palm

Let the ashes find the calm

Chorus

Let it burn, let it burn

Every ending has to turn

Into light I can't unlearn

So I'll let it burn

Verse

Salt air drifting through the door

Your old sweater on the floor

I could fold it, keep it near

Or set it free into the year

Pre-Chorus

Do I hold on

Or open my palm

Let the ashes find the calm

Chorus

Let it burn, let it burn

Every ending has to turn

Into light I can't unlearn

So I'll let it burn

Bridge

Maybe grief's just love that changed its clothes

Maybe this is how the river flows

I'm not losing you, I'm letting go

Watch the embers teach me how to glow

Chorus

Let it burn, let it burn

Every ending has to turn

Into light I can't unlearn

So I'll let it burn

Let it burn, let it burn

Soft as ash and slow to learn

Still it warms me in return

So I'll let it burn
