Lyric

Even if the way we love was never quite the same

I believed our hearts could find a way to break the frame

I tried to trust once more, I steeled my soul to stay

But then I found I couldn't brush the bitterness away

Facing the setting sun, I whispered out your name

Watching my tears dissolve into the orange flame

I told the sea tonight, a promise dark and deep

Your name is now a secret that I’ll never let me keep

I can’t bring myself to hate you, no matter how I try

But I can’t stay in love with you beneath this heavy sky

It’s over now, today—goodbye to all we knew

Let the sunset hold you close and sleep away the blue

A wandering heart must find a place to finally come to rest

Deep inside a sea of grief, a hollow in my chest

I will not waver now, I will not shake or bend

Dreams are fleeting shadows that must eventually end

I can’t bring myself to hate you, no matter how I try

But I can’t stay in love with you and watch the years go by

The night was long, but it’s fading now

I’m making a new, unspoken vow

To leave the ghosts behind!

When the darkness bleeds away and the morning sun appears

I’ll walk into the golden light and wash away the years

I can’t bring myself to hate you, that will never change

But "loving you" is a country that has grown too cold and strange

I’m walking toward the dawn!

The sun is rising

Step by step

Beginning again
