(Verse 1)
Dusty road beneath my worn-out boots, heading towards the fading light
Got this crumpled paper in my hand, gonna try and make things right
To my kin and all my good-time friends, the ones I let down through the years
Guess my best just wasn't good enough, drowned you all in bitter tears
(Chorus)
This ain't a goodbye in the way you think, just a silence I gotta embrace
Tried to climb that mountain of myself, but always fell right on my face
Needed peace this world wouldn't give, a quiet where the shadows cease
So I'm stepping out into the calm, hopin' maybe then I'll find release
(Verse 2)
Told my darlin' 'bout the heavy load, the one I carried in my soul
Said I had to find a different path, to finally make myself whole
Her eyes just looked right through my own, a whisper soft upon the breeze
"If that's what you truly need to do," she said, "then maybe find your ease."
(Chorus)
This ain't a goodbye in the way you think, just a silence I gotta embrace
Tried to climb that mountain of myself, but always fell right on my face
Needed peace this world wouldn't give, a quiet where the shadows cease
So I'm stepping out into the calm, hopin' maybe then I'll find release
(Bridge)
Fought like hell against the darkness, the Borderline that held me tight
For you, my love, I changed my ways, tried to bring you only light
But the mirror showed a different truth, a me you couldn't reconcile
Guess the changes I was making, weren't the changes you desired for a while.
(Chorus)
This ain't a goodbye in the way you think, just a silence I gotta embrace
Tried to climb that mountain of myself, but always fell right on my face
Needed peace this world wouldn't give, a quiet where the shadows cease
So I'm stepping out into the calm, hopin' maybe then I'll find release
(Outro)
Maybe someday down the line, you'll understand this lonely plea
That sometimes the only way to heal, is to finally set yourself free.
Yeah, to finally set yourself free.
