(Verse 1)
Sunrise paints the window pane, a brand new day I should embrace
But shadows of you still remain, a bitter taste I can't erase
Empty coffee cup we shared, your laughter echoes in the hall
A silent movie of we cared, before the storm, before the fall
I'm walking through the wreckage now, of promises we couldn't keep
And trying to remember how, to wake myself from this deep sleep
(Chorus)
'Cause I've been falling, falling, falling down
A king or queen without a crown
Lost in the echoes of our sound
But I'm done with drowning in the grey
Gonna find the strength to walk away
And build my own damn brighter day, yeah, build a brighter day
(Verse 2)
Remember dancing in the rain, we felt so infinite and free
Now every drop just feels like pain, a cold reminder of you and me
I'm boxing up the photographs, the sweaters that you left behind
Ignoring all the whispered "what ifs" that try to mess with my own mind
It's a step-by-step, a breath-by-breath, this uphill climb is slow and steep
But I'm choosing life instead of death, a promise to myself I'll keep
(Chorus)
'Cause I've been falling, falling, falling down
A king or queen without a crown
Lost in the echoes of our sound
But I'm done with drowning in the grey
Gonna find the strength to walk away
And build my own damn brighter day, yeah, build a brighter day
(Bridge)
The cracks in my heart let the light get in
A brand new chapter's about to begin
No more looking back at what could have been
My own two feet, a new place to start
Gonna mend the pieces of my broken heart
(Guitar Solo - Upbeat and energetic)
(Chorus)
No more falling, falling, falling down
I've found my footing on solid ground
No longer lost in a mournful sound
I'm done with drowning in the grey
I've found the strength to walk away
And I'm living in my brighter day, yeah, living in my brighter day!
(Outro)
Oh, living in my brighter day
Yeah, the storm has finally passed away
And I'm here to stay
In my brighter day!
