[Intro]
Crack of rain on old glass, a quiet room sighs
[Verse 1]
The taillights fade into the gray mist, a sigh in the air
This is the last ghost of the lips I once touched there
I watch your reflection dissolve in the windowpane
Leaving me here with the sound of the storm again
[Verse 2]
Your closet is empty, the hangers are bare
But the ghost of your laughter still floats in the room there
We built a fortress we couldn’t protect from the rain
And watched it all shatter at the bitter end, in vain
[Verse 3]
I promise I will not hold onto the guilt, I swear
But the walls of this house whisper your name in every stair
It hurts to let go of the life that we designed
Dropping the weight of your trembling fingers, left behind
[Chorus]
So goodbye to the storm that we couldn't outrun
Goodbye to the warmth of our vanishing daylight, undone
I’m turning the page though my fingers might bleed
Giving you up is the peace I require, indeed
[Bridge]
And maybe one day when the recovery starts to rise
We’ll smile at the places where love usually shines
But tonight there is only a beautiful pain, a quiet lie
And a final, quiet promise I’m forced to violate
[Chorus]
So go
[Outro]
Go on, go on, let the door fall shut with time
