[Verse 1] I’m holding on to what is gone While staring at a brand new dawn (Instrumental Break - 8 seconds) My skin is tight, my breath is slow I want to stay, I have to go. [Chorus] And it hurts to let the daylight in To peel away the former skin (Synth-Pad Swell) I’m reaching out, I’m falling back Across this deep and silent crack. (Pause) It’s the heavy pull of being new While part of me is still with you. [Verse 2] The house is full, but I am bare Searching for a breath of air (Instrumental Break) I know your name, I know your touch But memories, they weigh too much. [Chorus] And it hurts to let the daylight in To peel away the former skin I’m reaching out, I’m falling back Across this deep and silent crack. It’s the heavy pull of being new While part of me is still with you. [Verse 3] It’s not a choice, it’s just a tear Right through the center of my fear (Instrumental Break) To love again is to betray The one I was just yesterday. [Chorus] And it hurts to let the daylight in To peel away the former skin I’m reaching out, I’m falling back Across this deep and silent crack. It’s the heavy pull of being new While part of me is still with you. [Chorus - Repeated] And it hurts to let the daylight in To peel away the former skin I’m reaching out, I’m falling back Across this deep and silent crack. [Chorus - Half] It’s the heavy pull of being new While part of me is still with you. [Outro] Still with you.
