Lyrics:

Letting Your Heart Go ©2025 Doug Millaway/Kimberly Korn

Even though it took this long,
Now you’re finally startin’ to see.
It ain’t just about our late-night talks,
It’s about what we could be.

I'm not here for half the ride,
I need a love that’s built to last.
More than gestures, more than words,
Not a fire that burns out fast

No more walls.
No more fears
Now you know that I’m right here.
You see what I always knew
Feelings are startin’ to show,

It ain’t about playin’ it safe,
It’s about lettin’ your heart go
It ain’t about playin’ it safe,
It’s about lettin’ your heart go
Letting your heart go
Letting your heart go
Letting your heart go
Letting your heart go

You held back, afraid to lose,
But baby, it’s a risk we gotta take.
We’ve both been through it all
Love, loss, and heartbreak

I'm not here for half the ride,
I need a love that’s built to last.
More than gestures, more than words,
Not a fire that burns out fast

No more walls.
No more fears
Now you know that I’m right here.
You see what I always knew
Feelings are startin’ to show,

It ain’t about playin’ it safe,
It’s about lettin’ your heart go
Letting your heart go
Letting your heart go

It ain’t about playin’ it safe,
It’s about lettin’ your heart go
Letting your heart go
Letting your heart go

[Outro
(ad libs)
It ain’t about playin’ it safe,
It’s about lettin’ your heart go
Letting your heart go
Letting your heart go
Letting your heart go
Letting your heart go
