Ashes

[Intro] That old light is still burning But I don’t live there anymore [Verse 1] You thought every winter Would bring me back to you But even the longest night Eventually breaks in two You called your fear the truth Called your silence something deep I stayed too long inside that room Now I finally leave [Pre-Chorus] It wasn’t fate It wasn’t forever I just held on A little too long [Chorus] I don’t go back I know that river Water may change But I know the stones I don’t go back I know that station Different train Same old road I won’t wake the ashes I won’t call that season home You can stay an old song I don’t go back anymore [Verse 2] You thought I was a doorway Always open when you came But some locks change forever When the heart no longer stays Once I called you harbor Now you’re just a fading sign My ship is already moving And the wind is finally mine [Chorus] I don’t go back I know that river Water may change But I know the stones I don’t go back I know that station Different train Same old road I won’t wake the ashes I won’t call that season home You can stay an old song I don’t go back anymore [Bridge] The old house still has a light But every light is not a home I didn’t leave in anger I just learned to walk alone Some stories don’t need answers Some doors don’t need a sound Sometimes silence writes the ending And you never turn around [Final Chorus] I don’t go back I know that river I know the stones I know the cold I don’t go back The night has changed me Same moon above Different soul I won’t touch the ashes I won’t give old wounds new names You can stay another season I’m not going back again [Outro] That window is still burning Somewhere behind me Let it burn I don’t live there anymore
