For the first time in years
I fell asleep happy to be alive
I could finally focus on the world outside
Maybe this is only temporary
But I know you'd be so proud of me
I'm letting go and I'm not giving up
I've just put my will in a different place
It's like I'm engulfed in hope
It's like a part of me has been replaced
I never listened to those who believed in me
All that matters is that I've been set free
I gave life one last chance
It turned out to be temporary
But I know I have it in me to feel this way again
