(Deep sigh) The dust has settled on the rooms we shared... And I’m just standing here, completely unprepared. I chose the silence over all the noise, Trying to find the balance, finding back my poise. There were no winners in this tired game, Just two broken spirits, never quite the same. I had to leave the anchor, cut the rusted chain, To wash away the sorrow, to walk out of the rain. I know the walls I built were far too high, I never let you see the reasons why. The path ahead is winding, cold, and wide... But I’m finally shedding all my pride. So be gentle with the pieces that I hold, The story of the fire, the truth that remained untold. Go easy on the memory, let it drift away, I’m only searching for the light of day. I wasn’t perfect, I was just a ghost, Trying to find the one I needed most. The ink is fading on the promises we made, Watching the colors of our portraits start to fade. It wasn't malice, darling, it was just the time, A jagged mountain that I could not climb. I know the walls I built were far too high, I never let you see the reasons why. The path ahead is winding, cold, and wide... But I’m finally shedding all my pride. So be gentle with the pieces that I hold, The story of the fire, the truth that remained untold. Go easy on the memory, let it drift away, I’m only searching for the light of day. I wasn’t perfect, I was just a ghost, Trying to find the one I needed most. Maybe we were destined for the shore... But we kept on sailing, looking for something more. I don't regret the miles, I don't regret the fall, I just regret that we built up a wall... so tall. So be gentle with the pieces that I hold, The story of the fire, the truth that remained untold. Go easy on the memory, let it drift away, I’m only searching for the light of day. Easy... On the heart. The silence... is finally mine.
