[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
