16 - LEARNING TO LEAVE - Mögle Winter

[Verse 1] I still take the same road Past the iron gate The grass grows higher every year But I still hesitate Some names fade from stone Some faces from the mind But yours keeps finding ways To stay behind [Pre-Chorus] And every season tells me What I already know [Chorus] Learning to leave Is harder than goodbye Some doors close in a moment Some stay open all your life Learning to leave What love can't keep Standing at the edge of memory Trying not to speak [Verse 2] The rain came down this morning Like it did that year For a second I turned around Certain you'd be here Funny how the heart survives What reason can't explain It builds a home from echoes And calls it by your name [Pre-Chorus] But silence has been teaching me What grief never could [Chorus] Learning to leave Is harder than goodbye Some wounds heal in darkness Some just learn to hide Learning to leave What time won't save Holding on with one hand While the other lets go away [Bridge] I don't hear your voice now Not the way I used to The distance isn't louder It's just... Deeper [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Learning to leave Doesn't mean you're gone It only means I'm finally Learning to go on Learning to leave The place we used to be Carrying what mattered Without carrying everything [Outro] The wind moved through the trees I stood there for a while Then I walked home
