As We Fall - Closure Lyrics

I built a home on quicksand
Thinking it was bedrock
Every promise you made
Was a nail in the walls
But they were hollow
There's no poetry in regret
Just a cold, steady hum
Of what-if's and should-have's
I thought I was holding onto us
It was only the shadow of a memory
That never belonged to me
You've left fingerprints on my spine
But they weren't love
You were a flicker in a dark room
A matchstick pretending to be a sunrise
I let you light my way
But now I see the burn marks left behind
The smoke choking every breath
There's no poetry in regret
Just a cold, steady hum
Of what-if's and should-have's
I thought I was holding onto us
It was only the shadow of a memory
That never belonged to me
You've left fingerprints on my spine
But they weren't love
I wanted closure
But the door doesn't swing back, does it?
It slams, and the sound follows you
Long after you've turned away
You've turned away
You've turned away
You meant everything once
But only because I gave you the power to
Now, you're a ghost without a name
A mirage that never held water
And me?
I'm rebuilding, brick by brick
On solid ground this time
I'm learning how to quiet the echoes
To let the silence settle like dust
On the wreckage you left behind
Each breath feels cleaner now
No longer tinted with the smoke of your lies
I wanted closure
But the door doesn't swing back, does it?
It slams, and the sound follows you
Long after you've turned away
You've turned away
You've turned away
You've turned away!
