I am not giving up
I am cutting loose
Just letting go
I have thought things through
I am letting you win this race because
I have my own marathon to run
It's not about being weak or strong
Neither brave nor fearful
It's a matter of a realisation of a mission in life
I can't spend all of my precious time
Calculating and timing your moves
Drowning in your trivial matters
I can't walk than a mile in your shoes
I still have my own journey to embark on
I am living my life
In the only best way I know how
Reminiscing about the past
Won't courier my dreams to fruition
I am curving my own legacy now
This loitering ends here.
I am cutting loose
Just letting go
I have thought things through
I am letting you win this race because
I have my own marathon to run
It's not about being weak or strong
Neither brave nor fearful
It's a matter of a realisation of a mission in life
I can't spend all of my precious time
Calculating and timing your moves
Drowning in your trivial matters
I can't walk than a mile in your shoes
I still have my own journey to embark on
I am living my life
In the only best way I know how
Reminiscing about the past
Won't courier my dreams to fruition
I am curving my own legacy now
This loitering ends here.
