False Indigo - Passing Lyrics

Back again
Back in this old house but
It's not the same
All the colors turned to gray
I just don't think that I can stay
Footsteps echo through these halls
They're deafening
Breaking silence in my heart
Wish I played a bigger part
Wish I believed I didn't see this happening
That this caught me by surprise
But you were always on my mind
Empty walls
Curtains gone
But your scent still lingers
I had the time
I just let it slip right through my fingers
Hesitate
Hesitate to walk on through
It's just the same
Every day for twenty years
Now becoming are my fears
The weight of everything could crack my glass-like eyes
I guess this is the path I chose
Now this chapter has been closed
Empty walls
Curtains gone
But your scent still lingers
I had the time
I just let it slip right through my fingers
I held my head up for too long but now I'm done
Just hear my final words and right all that I've wronged
I swear I won't
But as the days go by I see I'm on that path
And all the promises I make they never last
Empty walls
Curtains gone
But your scent still lingers
I had the time
I just let it slip right through my fingers
And all the words I left unsaid
Just know I meant them
Just know I meant them
