Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.
Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat
I moved my feet, I carried weight
When I could not do a thing
And I'm done seeking treasure
Just to wake up in an early grave
So I stopped right there and said

Go all alone, 'cause I won't follow.
This isn't giving up, no this is letting go
Out with the old dreams I've borrowed
The path I call from here on out will be my own
The path will be my own

This is the part where the needle skips
And the [bad word] plays like a sick that drips
syllable repeating, like a warning we're not heeding
Until all is said and we noticed it
When the wheels brace and the tires grip
map we've been misreading
defeat we're not conceding
Until now
There must be some other way out

Go all alone, 'cause I won't follow
Rise Against This Is Letting Go
This isn't giving up no this is letting go
Out with the old dreams I've borrowed
The path I call from here on out will be my own
path to take me home

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

The wind died
The whole world ceased to move
Now so quiet
Her beating heart became a boom
We locked eyes
For just a moment or two
She asked why
I said "I don't know why"

I just know

The wind died
The whole world ceased to move
Now so quiet
Her beating heart became a boom
We locked eyes
For just a moment or two
She asked why
I said "I don't know why"
I just know
I just know

Go all alone, 'cause I won't follow
This isn't giving up, no this is letting go
I'll make the most of all this sorrow
I tried to break these tears' contempt but now I'm through
I'm letting go of you.

This is letting go
This is letting go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.
