What you said to me

Verse 1

The sun was bleeding orange across the asphalt sky

You pointed to the afterglow, a sad look in your eye

I knew the words were coming then, before you made a sound

As the light that held us together fell out on the ground

You said "I think we've reached the end," and I just had to stare

At the last bit of the day dissolving in the air.

​Pre-Chorus

And I held my breath, watching the purple turn to black

I waited for the first sign that there was no turning back.

​Chorus

And I can still hear what you said to me, as the sun fell from the sky

I thought it was the end of me, I thought I'd fall and die

But the darkness brought a comfort I never knew before

And now I don't even look for you, don't need you anymore

Thank you for the breakup, thank you for the fall

Thank you for the freedom, it was worth losing it all.

​Verse 2

The streetlights came on one by one, a cold and quiet glare

I walked a few miles on my own, just breathing in the air

The city felt alive again, a quiet, steady beat

A brand new road was waiting right there beneath my feet

I thought your absence was a void, a hole inside my chest

But it's just the space for something new, something better than the rest.

​Pre-Chorus

I held my breath, watching the purple turn to black

I waited for the first sign that there was no turning back.

​Chorus

I can still hear what you said to me, as the sun fell from the sky

I thought it was the end of me, I thought I'd fall and die

But the darkness brought a comfort I never knew before

And now I don't even look for you, don't need you anymore

Thank you for the breakup, thank you for the fall

Thank you for the freedom, it was worth losing it all.

​Bridge

(The music becomes more sparse, with just a simple acoustic guitar and vocal.)

​I can see it so clearly now, every flaw and every lie

Every time we had to try

We were running out of daylight from the start, I see it now

But I was too scared to say it out loud, to figure out how...

​Outro

(The vocals become soft, almost a whisper, as the acoustic guitar gently fades out.)

​So thank you... for that moment...

Thank you... for that night...

You pushed me to the edge... and I learned how to fly...
