Art of Letting Go - ArlenaZara
I deleted every picture from my phone
Thought that would make it easier to breathe
But I still catch myself reaching for your side
Of the bed where you used to sleep
I painted over the walls we picked out together
Swore I'd make this place my own
But every room still whispers your name
Even when I'm sitting here alone
They say time heals everything
But no one tells you how slow it goes
They say you'll know when you're ready
But what if I'm ready and I still don't know
Maybe letting go isn't one big moment
Maybe it's a thousand small goodbyes
Some days I feel like I'm almost there
Some days I'm still asking why
I'm learning the art of letting go
One broken thread at a time
And maybe that's the hardest part
There's no finish line
I saw you at the coffee shop last Tuesday
You looked happy and I felt the sting
Not because I wanted you back
But because I forgot how much change can bring
You said hello like we were strangers
Like we hadn't built a world and watched it fall
I smiled back and walked right past you
And didn't turn around at all
They say time heals everything
And maybe they were right after all
Cause when I walked out of that coffee shop
I didn't feel like I was gonna break or fall
Maybe letting go isn't one big moment
Maybe it's a thousand small goodbyes
Some days I feel like I'm almost there
Some days I'm still asking why
I'm learning the art of letting go
One broken thread at a time
And maybe that's the hardest part
There's no finish line
I used to think letting go meant forgetting
Now I know it means making peace
With the parts of me you touched
And the parts that still feel incomplete
Letting go isn't one big moment
It's a thousand small goodbyes
Today I feel like I'm almost there
And I'm finally okay with why
I'm learning the art of letting go
One broken thread at a time
And maybe that's the beautiful part
There's no finish line
No finish line
I'm learning
One thread at a time
Letting go
Letting go
