Verse 1 Packed my whole life in a couple of bags Left the keys on the table, no goodbye note to add Watched our street shrink in the mirror behind Somewhere out there is a life that's mine Verse 2 New city lights don't know my name Nobody here to ask if I'm okay There's a kind of freedom hiding in the pain Learning to walk without saying who I used to be Chorus I'm building a new skin, block by block, street by street Every stranger's face is a chance to start clean I'm not running from you, I'm running to me Somewhere in this city, I'm learning how to breathe Verse 3 First morning coffee in a place unknown Half the furniture missing, but I'm not alone 'Cause silence sounds different when it's chosen, not spilled This empty apartment is a page I get to fill Chorus I'm building a new skin, block by block, street by street Every stranger's face is a chance to start clean I'm not running from you, I'm running to me Somewhere in this city, I'm learning how to breathe (Instrumental) block by block, street by street block by block, street by street block by block, street by street block by block, street by street Bridge Some nights the old ghosts still call my phone But I let 'em ring, I'm not going home This town don't know my history That's exactly why it's setting me free Outro I'm building a new skin, one street at a time Further from the ending, closer to the light I'm not running from you, I'm running to me And this city's starting to feel like it's mine
