Staying in my life was hurting you enough to make you leave
Your way of loving slowly started wounding me
Lost in gravity, I drift between the seams
A sad man who laughs sometimes inside forgotten dreams

Until the pain grows quiet, and memories begin
Oh God, it won't be easy because his touch still lingers on my skin

Because he has promises to keep
And I still have nowhere to sleep
I haven't found a place to call home
Just a voice in my head saying: You're not alone

I began to trust you now the truth we built is thin
You earned my faith, and now you're losing it again
I wash my ears but I still hear your name
Tomorrow is today's dream wearing another face

The kindest hearts have bled the most
Haunted by the love they've lost
I no longer see the daylight's spark
I've learned to walk inside the dark

Until the pain grows quiet, and memories begin
Oh God, it won't be easy because his touch still lingers on my skin

Because he has promises to keep
And I still have nowhere to sleep
I haven't found a place to call home
Just a voice in my head saying: You're not alone

If home was ever real, it burned away with you
But even ashes shine when the night is true
And I
I walk in the dark
'Cause that's all I ever knew

There are stories that aren't meant to be
Leaving is also a way of loving
