[Verse 1]
I know that I caused this pain
I know you can't let me go
Crying in the midnight rain
Waiting on a miracle

[Chorus]
I, I release you
Though it's hard to say the words
I, I release you
From holding onto the bridge I burned
I release you from the darkness
From the love that we swore was true
I hope that, someday, the sun will shine again
And you'll release me, too

[Verse 2]
Even if I'm in your arms
Even if you touch my skin
I could never change my heart
After being where it's been

[Chorus]
I, I release you
Though it's hard to say the words
And I, I release you
From holding onto the bridge I burned
I release you from the darkness
From the love that we swore was true
I hope that, someday, the sun will shine again
And you'll release me, too
Oh
[Bridge]
I could never change my heart
After being where it's been

[Chorus]
I release you from the darkness
From the love that we swore was true, oh
I hope that, someday, the sun will shine again
And you'll release me, too
Oh, you'll release me, too
