Open Hands

Open Hands is a graceful release song about loosening attachment without losing softness. Blending heartbreak, self-possession, and forward motion, the track turns letting go into a disciplined kind of freedom—where memory remains, but the grip is gone.

Lyrics

Words in sequence

I used to say your name like honey—slow, on my tongue.Now it’s just… wind through a hook.I used to loop your touch like late-night jazz,pray time would pause—make “us” still last.But you loved like games with a straight-face grin,sweet on the lips, sharp under the skin.I held that thread till my hands said “enough,”you can’t grip smoke and call it love.Some smiles shine till the light shift through—funny what time and a groove can do.For better or worse, I loosen the rope,hands open, head high—let it roll.For better or worse, I breathe and cope,heart still soft, spine still bold.For better or worse, I’m moving on—moving on.For better or worse, your shadow gone—shadow gone.Moving past the marks you left on me—left on me.Moving to new skies, new memory—new memory.Moving… and I won’t stop—won’t stop.Fading… you fade away—fade away.(oooh) Fade away… fade away…(oooh) Fade away… fade away…Open hands… open hands…Brand new day and a brand new pace,I don’t chase echoes—I give ’em space.Yeah, I know you out there calling for me,but I’m not where you left me—can’t find that key.I let go so my hands stay free—stay free,and my hands stay free so I let go easy.If love come right, I won’t second-guess—I step in cool, I step in fresh.For better or worse, I choose my lane,I don’t rehearse that old hurt again.I don’t chase peace—I place peace down,I don’t feed fear—I fade fear out.For better or worse, I’m moving on—moving on.For better or worse, your shadow gone—shadow gone.Moving past the marks you left on me—left on me.Moving to new skies, new memory—new memory.Moving… and I won’t stop—won’t stop.Fading… you fade away—fade away.Some nights I reach—then I laugh at that,like “look at me” trying to run it back.But the past don’t love me, it only loops,so I turn that ache into dancefloor truth.No bad blood—just lessons learned,no closed fists—just corners turned.Open hands… open hands…that’s how my future takes its turn.For better or worse, I’m moving on—moving on.For better or worse, your shadow gone—shadow gone.Moving past the marks you left on me—left on me.Moving to new skies, new memory—new memory.Moving… and I won’t stop—won’t stop.Moving… toward what’s meant for me—meant for me.Open hands… (oooh) open hands…Fade away… (oooh) fade away…
