[Verse 1]

You and I, need to call out for help

'Cause we've wandered to far out to sea

I'm alright, I keep telling myself

But I'm finding it hard to believe

[Pre-Chorus]

I try to wait it out, wait it out

But you're down in the lungs

And it's harder to breathe

I'll never make it out, make it out

With all the terrible questions

You're throwing at me

[Chorus]

Dear self

You are the heaviness in my chest, in my chest

Dear self

You are the weariness in my breath, in my breath

For all the times you took control

And all the years of mine you stole

The day has come to let you go

Dear self

[Verse 2]

It is I, that's been holding me down

But I'm finally able to see

I'm alright, there may be scars on my chest

But it's holding a heart in beat

[Pre-Chorus]

I try to wait it out, wait it out

But you're down in the lungs

And it's harder to breathe

I'll never make it out, make it out

With all the terrible questions

You're throwing at me

[Chorus]

Dear self

You are the heaviness in my chest, in my chest

Dear self

You are the weariness in my breath, in my breath

For all the times you took control

And all the years of of mine you stole

The day has come to let you go

[Bridge]

Now I'm finally falling

Into the waves of the unknown

I've left you far behind me

And for the grace I now call home

Now I'm finally falling

This place is now my home

[Chorus]

Dear self

You are the heaviness in my chest, in my chest

Dear self

You are the weariness in my breath, in my breath

For all the times you took control

And all the years of mine you stole

The day has come to let you go

Dear self

[Outro]

Dear self

For all the times you took control

And all the years of mine you stole

The day has come to let you go
