[Verse 1]
Yeah…
You took an axe to everything we had
Now I’m just trying to pick up the pieces
She swung like a lumberjack, split my heart in two
Threw those logs into the fire
And watched the whole thing burn through
[Pre-Chorus]
I still find your name
Carved into the door
But I don’t know what I’m waiting for
[Chorus]
You cut me down, then walked away
Left sawdust where our promises lay
I built a home from every word you said
Now I’m sleeping with the wreckage in my head
You cut me down, but I’ll survive
Learn to stand on what you left behind
[Verse 2]
Your jacket’s hanging by the kitchen light
One sleeve still carries your perfume
I move it every morning, put it back at night
Like I’m making room for you
[Pre-Chorus]
The silence has a sound
When the house is empty floor to floor
I hear the pieces settling
Where we used to be before
[Chorus]
You cut me down, then walked away
Left sawdust where our promises lay
I built a home from every word you said
Now I’m sleeping with the wreckage in my head
You cut me down, but I’ll survive
Learn to stand on what you left behind
[Bridge]
Let the ashes cool
Let the old boards fall
I won’t keep rebuilding
Just to lose it all
There’s a field beyond this fire
And a road I haven’t tried
I’ll carry what is useful
And leave the rest behind
[Final Chorus]
You cut me down, then walked away
Left sawdust where our promises lay
But I found a spark beneath the red
And it’s burning brighter than the words you said
You cut me down, but I’m alive
Learning how to stand on what you left behind
Yeah, I’m learning how to stand on what you left behind
[Outro]
Yeah…
What you left behind
