I’ve been replaying yesterday,
every word, every mistake.
Holding onto what I can’t change,
like it’s safer in the blame.
I tried to fix what’s said and done,
count the losses one by one.
But all this weight is slowing me,
keeping me from who I could be.
I don’t need to win that fight,
I just need to move my life.
Leave it behind, let it go,
I don’t live there anymore.
What I was is not my cage,
I can turn the page.
Leave it behind, breathe it out,
I’m still standing here right now.
I’ll take the lesson, not the pain,
leave it behind.
Some apologies came too late,
some forgiveness had to wait.
Some nights taught me who I am,
not who I’ll always be in the end.
I’ve been hard on myself too long,
thinking I had to carry it on.
But grace is also strength I find,
when I stop punishing my mind.
I can learn without the chains,
I can grow without the shame.
Leave it behind, let it go,
I don’t live there anymore.
What I was is not my cage,
I can turn the page.
Leave it behind, breathe it out,
I’m still standing here right now.
I’ll take the lesson, not the pain,
leave it behind.
I forgive you, I forgive me,
that’s the space where I get free.
Not forgetting, just releasing,
choosing now over repeating.
The future’s calling by my name,
not asking me to stay the same.
Leave it behind, feel it lift,
all the weight I don’t need to fix.
I’ll move forward, open wide,
with my heart still on my side.
Leave it behind, here I go,
I’ve got places left to go.
I’ll take the truth, I’ll take the gain,
leave it behind.
I’m not running, I’m moving on,
that’s where I belong.
