Release Me

Release Me (Lyric)

Maybe I can’t find my way
On this road weaved through life
Maybe I can’t find my way
When pain slit my heart like a knife

Maybe I have become hardened like stone
Maybe I feel that I can’t make it all alone
There are no bridges in sight for me to cross
Only shadows in the mirror of every loss

So carry me, release me, from this one way road
Please give me strength to carry this heavy load
I will fly for you, die for you, whatever it takes
To return home where I belong, as my soul awakes

Maybe I blamed myself too often for every mistake
Maybe I tried to save everyone, but myself
Now they’ve turned on me, as I wander in heartache
Leaving all my stories behind on a dusty shelf

Maybe I didn’t let myself be free
Maybe I fell into the powerful depth of pain
Overwhelmed by everything that I could see
Just trying to survive these shackles in a chain

So carry me, release me, from this one way road
Please give me strength to carry this heavy load
I will fly for you, die for you, whatever it takes
To return home where I belong, as my soul awakes
