Letting Go
Letting Go is a song about recognizing your own gilded cage high above everyone else and realizing how suffocating it is. Finally, you can find the strength to make your own decisions to let go and leap from your golden balcony into a world that may not be perfect, but will be one that you chose. Has a very Jessie J "Flashlight" feel to it, lots of space for big key changes at the end, and there are also very few songs titled "Letting Go" out there.

## VERSE 1
You who took me in
Who would be my only friend
Always made the difference
Between health and destruction
You defended me
When the horde came through the breach
Even from my family
My very shield from corruption
## PRE-CHORUS
But then it all changed
I learned why you gave
And kept me away from anyone else
You trapped me at home
Put chains on my bones
Suspended me so high
But I'll get down on my own
## CHORUS
So I’m letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I won’t let you define
Everything I could be
I’m letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I’ll risk this pain
Just to know what I could be
I’m letting go oh oh ohhh oh
## VERSE 2
I hid from the truth
Allowed myself to be reduced
Didn’t have the strength to choose
I let shame be my motive
And we lived above the trees
I didn’t earn a single thing
Clutching the canopy you made for me
Until I forced my fingers open I'm...
## CHORUS
...letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I won’t let you define
Everything I could be
I’m letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I’ll risk this pain
Just to know what I could be
## PRE-CHORUS (BRIDGE)
But then it all changed
I learned why you gave
And kept me away from anyone else
You trapped me at home
Put chains on my bones
Suspended me so high
But I'll get down on my own
##CHORUS
…So I’m letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I won’t let you define
Everything I could be
I’m letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I’ll risk this pain
Just to know what I could be
I’m letting go oh oh ohhh oh (x2)
