lyrics

The hallways are neatly lined with boxes stacked
this is what eight years looks like packed
and it’s difficult to know how to divide
which ghosts are yours, and which are mine

The house has never seemed heavier than this
even for all the empty rooms and the stillness
I’m a little bit lost here I admit
but when I whispered your name to come back, I didn’t mean it

Don’t you cry for this
don’t you cry for the leaving
If you’re gonna cry make it for the reason this is no one’s fault

A slow and steady teasing out the past
careful it’s a fragile artifact
and difficult to decipher when you’re still hurting
which part you’re losing and which part you’re learning

Nothing knows you better than these walls
and these walls would sigh if these walls could talk
they know every dark secret, every dark moment, every dark night
every hard line, every oversight

Don’t you cry for this
don’t you cry for the leaving
If you’re gonna cry make it for the reason this is no one’s fault

Inhale, exhale, rewire, program, practice, backfire – you’re on track
It’s a long road you’re on now, and the origin is gone now, don’t look back

And don’t you cry for this
don’t you cry for the leaving
If you’re gonna cry make it for the reason this is no one’s fault.
