Toast to the Damage

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The velvet curtain fell on our Friday night You walked out, didn't look back, everything felt light I found the matching keys under the front porch stair Left by a stranger who’s been living in my chair [Chorus] So here’s to you, to the secrets you kept behind the door Here’s to you, for wanting something and finding so much more I’m pouring out the whiskey, watching it hit the glass Just a toast to the damage, watching the wreckage pass [Verse 2] The phone line is dead, you stopped calling weeks ago I saw you at the diner with that heavy winter coat You didn't see me watching, just laughing at his jokes I finally saw the fire through all the heavy smokes [Chorus] So here’s to you, to the secrets you kept behind the door Here’s to you, for wanting something and finding so much more I’m pouring out the whiskey, watching it hit the glass Just a toast to the damage, watching the wreckage pass [Bridge] Every promise was a brittle piece of dry, dead wood I held on way too long, I misunderstood the good Now the ledger is balanced, the ink is finally dry There's nothing left to argue, there's nothing left to try [Guitar Solo] [Intense, high-register guitar tapping, melodic shredding] [Chorus] So here’s to you, to the secrets you kept behind the door Here’s to you, for wanting something and finding so much more I’m pouring out the whiskey, watching it hit the glass Just a toast to the damage, watching the wreckage pass [Outro] Yeah, here’s to you Just a toast to the damage [Fade out]
