Lyric

You’re keeping silent because you’re "kind"

But that’s the cruelest thing that I could find

Though you hide what’s living in your heart

I can feel it, we are drifting apart

It’s only because I love you so deep

That I know the secrets you try to keep

When is the right time for a final "goodbye"?

If I’m the one who has to say it, and not even cry

If I’m the one to break the silence for you

Since you can't find the words that are true

Pretending I can't hear you through the sound of the rain

Pretending that your voice can't reach my pain

I’ll run out the door, moving fast through the night

Without looking back, I’ll step out of your sight

Closing the door on the ghost of our light

You have someone precious, you have a life

So why did I cling to this edge of a knife?

If it’s all my fault, then let it be so

I don't want this blue flame to burn or to grow

No more sparks, no more heat

Just the sound of the rain on the empty street

When is the right time for a final "goodbye"?

If I’m the one to break the silence for you

Since you can't find the words to be true

It’s only the raindrops that are wetting my cheek

It’s only the storm making me look so weak

Walking without an umbrella, out in the cold

It’s the most natural way for my story to unfold

Hiding my heart in the gray and the gold

The blue flame is dying

The silence is crying

I'm letting go

Pretending I can't hear you through the sound of the rain

Pretending that your voice can't reach my pain

I’ll run out the door, moving fast through the night

Closing the door on the ghost of our light

Cruel kindness

My cheeks are just wet

Don't look back
