As the wind blows, hope from sorrow
This place we used to call our home leaves me cold as stone.
The voice of the vacated is still present, in a way it has never left
I wish the pain away but it holds in my skin
Old wounds are the words I have left unsaid
The pain behind these eyes is the kind you don't forget.
You've taken everything, more of me that anyone ever has
Now I'm taking it all back. Taking it back
We were tethered, you & I
Tangled up in a lie, intertwined
We were tethered, held together
I may seem free but I'm lost behind your eyes
Pain is shaping who I am
Time is taking me away from this
When I arrive, survived & determined
I can rebuild with the pieces that remain untaken
I may be broken & hurting in this place you left.
Place you left
But in a flicker, this will be a memory years in the past
Hold on, hold on.
These words will soon be gone
My heart refuses to restart, it once beat in time with yours
Our eyes lock & I remember what we've lost
Across this barren plane, staring you in the face
I'll say it again as I've said it
Before, these scars are the same as yours
As the wind blows, hope from sorrow
This place we used to call our home leaves me cold as stone
