Far From You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I laid my heart beneath your hands, Watched every promise crumble into sand. I mistook your shadow for a place to belong, Then woke to find my own voice gone. [Pre-Chorus] Now rain threads silver through the street, Rinsing your echo from my skin. I won't curse the door you closed, Some roads must end for mine to begin. [Chorus] So I'll walk away, far from you, Carrying the fire I fought my way through. I'll raise my life from the ground with my hands, Lay down its beams, redraw all my plans. No, I won't be the ruin you knew— I'll become someone far from you. [Verse 2] I found your note inside an old coat, Three folded lines and a borrowed hope. I read them once, then let them go, Some things lose weight when you stop holding close. [Pre-Chorus] The morning opens pale and clear, A train pulls out beyond the pier. I take one breath, then two, then move, There is a world I have yet to choose. [Chorus] So I'll walk away, far from you, Carrying the fire I fought my way through. I'll raise my life from the ground with my hands, Lay down its beams, redraw all my plans. No, I won't be the ruin you knew— I'll become someone far from you. [Bridge] If your name returns, I won't turn around, I've learned what silence sounds like now. The parts of me you couldn't keep Are waking underneath the sleep. [Final Chorus] So I'll walk away, far from you, With a steadier heart and a wider view. I'll raise my life from the ground with my hands, Lay down its beams, redraw all my plans. Every scar is a map I can use, Every step takes me farther from you. I am more than the ruin you knew— I am finally becoming true. [Outro] Far from you, I can hear my own voice through.
