Mistakes were made
I'm not here to point the blame
I won't be like you
Become this thing I hate
Each day I try to live
Strong in your wake
Won't spend another day
A pawn in your wicked game
Like a message in a bottle
These words will never reach you
Goodbye to the cruel
The sun will shine without you
The ends are frayed
Things were left unspoken
If they linger in my heart
I'll just end up broken
Burying the past
And leaving you behind
Like an unheard harmony
I'm destined to find
(Chorus)
There is an arc light
Leading me through the dark
Covers up these bruises
Keeps the beat of my heart
I will not walk with you
Heavy in your shadow
I'll find a brave new world
When I let you go...

Very poignant lyrics. It's hard to say goodbye to someone who shaped you in such complicated ways. I think this works.

This is a truly well-crafted lyric. The defiant ache is palpable. Well done.
