It’s quiet now, your old chair’s by the window Didn’t think I’d miss your laugh, but here I am Half-smiling at the mess we left behind Guess you were tired, I was tired too No big speeches, just the clock ticking on And I don’t blame you for running when you could You said, “let it burn, let it burn if it’s gotta” And I watched you engulfed in the fire I’m standing in the smoke, breathing easy Strange how I feel lighter with the ache It’s that sweet relief, tangled up in sorrow Yeah, I’m sad but I’m free, somehow I carry your memory, quiet and hollow But the weight’s off my chest now We go down in flames, yeah, we go down in flames And maybe that’s the only way out You left your records in a pile by the door Strange how I can’t play them yet I guess we both were waiting for the other to fold All that fighting just to say au revoir Now I’m picking up the pieces, no regrets I hope you found your peace, wherever you are You said, “let it burn, let it burn if it’s gotta” And I watched you walk right into the fire Still, I’m breathing, yeah, I’m breathing It’s a strange kind of grace It’s that sweet relief, tangled up in sorrow Yeah, I’m sad but I’m free, somehow I carry your memory, heavy and hollow But the weight’s off my chest now We go down in flames, yeah, we go down in flames And maybe that’s the only way out Go down in flames, go down in flames I’ll remember you, but I won’t stay Go down in flames, go down in flames And let the sweet relief find its way
