We all carry things that were never truly ours.
Sometimes it’s a story someone told us about who we are – a limitation, a role, a shame we silently adopted. Sometimes it’s the weight of someone else’s pain, a relationship that drained us, or a belief we clung to out of fear rather than truth.
“I Don’t Carry You Anymore” is a song about that quiet, courageous moment when you decide to set something down.
It’s not a song of anger. It’s not about turning away with bitterness.
It’s about choosing freedom.
It’s about recognizing that holding on can hurt more than letting go.
And that there is deep love in saying: “This was never mine to hold.”
The song walks the fine line between grief and liberation – between the sadness of release and the peace that follows. It honors the path you walked, the burdens you bore, and then gently invites you to lay them down.
When you stop carrying what was never yours, you remember who you truly are.
This song is an ode to that remembering.
To every soul brave enough to walk on—lighter, clearer, free.
🎵 Title: I Don’t Carry You Anymore 🎵
(Theme: Letting go of what was never truly yours)
Verse 1
I walked so long with your shadow near,
Held your silence, held your fear.
Wore your pain like it was mine,
Crossed my heart and toed the line.
Pre-Chorus
But truth has a way of breaking through,
What never belonged will slip from you.
Chorus
I don’t carry you anymore,
Dropped your weight at freedom’s door.
You were never meant to stay,
Just a lesson on the way.
I unchain my soul, let the past restore—
I don’t carry you anymore.
Verse 2
I spoke your name when I lost my own,
Built a house in your unknown.
Gave you roots, gave you wings,
Lost myself in borrowed things.
Pre-Chorus
Now I see with open eyes,
Some goodbyes are truth in disguise.
Chorus
I don’t carry you anymore,
Dropped your weight at freedom’s door.
You were never meant to stay,
Just a lesson on the way.
I unchain my soul, let the past restore—
I don’t carry you anymore.
Bridge
What was never mine to hold,
Fades away, so soft, so cold.
I reclaim the light I gave,
Stand unbroken, strong, and brave.
Final Chorus
I don’t carry you anymore,
Left your ghost on that old shore.
What I release returns to flow,
What’s not mine, I let it go.
I unchain my soul, let the past restore—
I don’t carry you...
I don’t carry you anymore.
