([Verse 1)] I trace the dust along the windowpane, And count the ways our quiet world has changed. I sit alone and wonder who I’ll be, When all the familiar ground gives way beneath me, And every step ahead feels strange and new. ([Verse 2)] Our shared routine is unraveling fast, I know these fragile days were never built to last. The friends we gathered now must draw a line, And I am leaving half my world behind, To face the heavy silence on my own. [(Chorus)] Will I get by when all the dust has settled down? Will I find my voice inside this quiet town? We painted every room in shades of purple-blue, A haunting cold romance that was never true. I’m reclaiming who I am, though the shadows grow, I’m walking toward the light, letting go. ([Verse 3)] We lived inside a bruise of purple-blue, A compromise that held me back from you. It looked like passion under dimmed-down light, But left us freezing through the long cold night, And stole the honest truth I used to hold. ([Verse 4)] It breaks my heart to say a soft goodbye, To all the gentle faces standing by. They cannot walk the road I need to pave, Nor give the quiet answer that I crave, So I must step into the clear alone. [(Verse 5)] I’ll hold my head up high and take a breath, And choose my freedom over subtle death. No longer fitting into painful molds, I’ll let the story of my life unfold, True to the person I was meant to be. ([Chorus)] Will I get by when all the dust has settled down? Will I find my voice inside this quiet town? We painted every room in shades of purple-blue, A haunting cold romance that was never true. I’m reclaiming who I am, though the shadows grow, I’m walking toward the light, letting go. ([Outro / Coda)] The hardest part is taking the first stride, Leaving the shadow of our ghost behind. I know in time I’ll learn to stand and thrive, I Know That I’ll Get By.
