Let Go of the Past

I'm just trying
To let go of my past
And live for tomorrow

Livin like I was dying

A part of me came alive
And a part of me died

I don't feel like I can speak from my heart anymore

I'm afraid to take another step
for fear of falling down

I gotta make that step

But how can I
When ther eis nothing to catch me?

I'm afraid of showing a weakness
That may turn others away.

Why can't I just
Run away from it all

Where would I go?
What would I do?

My heart is crying out
It's breaking apart

I gotta get out
I gotta get away.
