[Verse 1]
Wasn’t scared of the smoke
I was scared of the silence
Same fight every night
Called the chaos “guidance”
Chasing coins, chasing thrills
Didn’t care who was crying
You were holding my shirt
While I swore I was flying
Brushed off every warning
“You worry too much, relax”
You were stitching my heart
While I was cutting your back
Thought I’d always be saved
By the ones that I burned
Till the last door closed
and the whole world turned
[Chorus]
I don’t learn till it’s gone
Till the gold turns dust
Till the hand that held me
Finally gives up
Had to lose what was close
Just to wake, just to change
Yeah, I broke what I love
Just to fix my name
Now I’m done staying blind
Done rewinding that pain
Had to watch you walk off
Just to walk out the flame
[Verse 2]
Every lie that I told
Came back like a letter
Every step that I skipped
Made the fall hit better
You were right by my side
I was tied to the street
Gave my loyalty cheap
To the cold concrete
You were praying I’d stop
I was playing with fate
Putting you in the dark
So my name looked great
Then that silence hit hard
Phone dry, heart loud
Your chair at the table
Empty, screaming my doubt
[Chorus]
I don’t learn till it’s gone
Till the gold turns dust
Till the hand that held me
Finally gives up
Had to lose what was close
Just to wake, just to change
Yeah, I broke what I love
Just to fix my name
Now I’m done staying blind
Done rewinding that pain
Had to watch you walk off
Just to walk out the flame
[Bridge]
Now I move with your voice
In my ear when I stumble (yeah)
Every choice that I make
Hears your name in the rumble
If I ever fall back
Let this scar be the sound
Of the day that I lost you
And finally turned around
[Chorus]
I don’t learn till it’s gone
Till the gold turns dust
Till the hand that held me
Finally gives up
Had to lose what was close
Just to wake, just to change
Yeah, I broke what I love
Just to fix my name
Now I’m done staying blind
Done rewinding that pain
Had to watch you walk off
Just to walk out the flame
