Lyrics

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...
