TRACK 7 — THE THINGS I LET DIE [Verse 1] I’ve been walkin’ through the wreckage of the things I let die, All the pieces of myself that I swore I’d revive. Every memory on the floor feels like a crime scene now, Every promise that I broke feels like I’m breakin’ my vows. I’ve been tryna understand why I cling to the hurt, Why I treat my own heart like it’s somethin’ I can’t deserve. Why I keep apologizin’ for the things I can’t change, Why I keep expectin’ comfort from the places that cause pain. I don’t know why I keep runnin’ from the truth I need, Why I’m scared to let go of the things that make me bleed. Why I’m scared to trust peace when it’s right in my hands, Why I sabotage love like I’m scared to make plans. I don’t know why I keep fallin’ back into the dark, Why I bury every chance like I’m scared to restart. [Hook] These are the things I let die, The parts of me I never learned to revive. I keep sayin’ I’ll be better but I still lie, I keep breakin’ myself just to feel alive. These are the things I let die, The pieces of me I never learned to fight. I keep runnin’ from the truth I deny, I need to change… but I don’t know why. [Verse 2] I’ve been talkin’ to the shadows that I used to ignore, Now they’re louder than the person I was tryin’ to be before. Every whisper in my head feels like a warning sign, Every step I try to take feels like I’m fallin’ behind. I’ve been tryna find the courage just to face myself, But the mirror keeps remindin’ me of everything I felt. All the guilt I never dealt with, all the pain I suppressed, All the nights I stayed awake with the weight on my chest. I don’t know why I keep holdin’ on to all this shame, Why I treat my own reflection like it’s someone else to blame. Why I’m scared of bein’ honest when I’m breakin’ inside, Why I’d rather fall apart than admit that I cried. I don’t know why I keep choosin’ all the things that drain me, Why I’m scared of bein’ loved when I want it so badly. [Hook] These are the things I let die, The parts of me I never learned to revive. I keep sayin’ I’ll be better but I still lie, I keep breakin’ myself just to feel alive. These are the things I let die, The pieces of me I never learned to fight. I keep runnin’ from the truth I deny, I need to change… but I don’t know why. [Bridge] Maybe I’m the reason that I’m stuck this way, Maybe I’m the one who keeps me locked in place. Maybe I’m afraid of who I’ll be without the pain, Maybe I don’t know how to live if I ever change. Maybe I’m the problem that I can’t outrun, Maybe I’m the darkness that I blame on everyone. Maybe I’m the reason that I’m still not free, Maybe the thing I’m scared to face… is me. [Verse 3] I’ve been standin’ in the doorway of the life I want, But the past keeps draggin’ me back like a ghost that haunts. I’ve been tryna find a reason just to take one step, But the fear inside m
