A stone left unturned,
A bridge to be burned.
No longer the one who got away;
Am I in denial, or actually okay?
Now that I know the truth about you,
That you lead me on when you were feeling blue,
I've been released from this obsession.
Seen you in a new light, a new impression.
So I've let you go, for real this time.
I will no longer clamber and climb-
Seeking your love, praying for redemption.
I'm a free woman now, don't need your attention.
Oh what a saga, a journey it's been...
The lessons I've learned from the longing within.
Now I only long for me,
For peace, for growth, like the rings of a tree.
