lyrics

Held me when my arms were numb
Said the things I could not say
Smiled at me when I played dumb
And shared your secrets anyway

Unlike me you knew about my true self
And unlike me you truly loved me whole

Looked out for me when I was blind
Never asked to even up
Though I knew you’re someone hard to find
I kept on waiting for more luck

You fed me with your thoughts and I still
Swallow every word while I
Pretend to have a better life without you

Pretend to have a better life

I knew where I belonged
The moment you were gone
And now I’m hanging on
To the shadows of your light

In silence now I realize
How much you broke so I could rise
But leaving me to let me go
Is worth a shit if I won’t grow
From ashes that are left behind

Ashes that are left behind

So I’ll try to have a better life without you
