[male
vocals] (
Soft
piano
chords
drift
in,
a
smooth
saxophone
melody
begins)
Yeah
It’
s
a
heavy
lesson,
isn't
it?
To
give
everything
when
the
shelf
is
bare
Listen
I’
m
pouring
water
into
a
broken
glass
Watching
the
moments
of
us
just
slowly
pass
I
keep
the
fire
burning
in
the
dead
of
night
Trying
to
make
a
wrong
situation
feel
so
right
Your
silence
is
a
language
I’
ve
learned
to
speak
Though
it
makes
me
weary,
though
it
makes
me
weak
I
see
the
distance
painted
in
your
tired
eyes
While
I’
m
still
busy
crafting
all
these
lullabies
I
loved
you
through
the
storms
and
the
heavy
rain
I
found
a
strange
kind
of
comfort
in
the
middle
of
the
pain
But
even
the
strongest
roots
can’
t
grow
in
dust
And
love
without
a
partner
is
just
a
lonely
trust
I’
m
learning
how
to
love
while
letting
you
go
A
rhythm
in
my
heart
that
you
will
never
know
It’
s
a
burden,
baby,
loving
all
on
my
own
Building
up
a
kingdom
on
a
shifting
throne
I’
ve
paid
the
price
of
wanting
what
I
cannot
hold
Leaving
all
the
embers,
walking
through
the
cold
Yeah,
I’
m
learning
how
to
love
while
letting
you
go
They
say
that
time
is
the
healer
of
a
wounded
soul
But
I’
ve
been
digging
trenches
just
to
fill
the
hole
I’
ve
studied
every
lesson
in
the
book
of
heartbreak
Seeing
every
promise
that
you
couldn't
make
It’
s
not
about
the
anger,
it’
s
not
about
the
blame
It’
s
just
about
the
fire
flickering
out
of
flame
I’
ve
got
this
saxophone
wailing
for
the
ghost
of
us
Turning
all
the
diamond
memories
into
rust
You
deserve
to
be
loved,
just
not
by
me
And
I
deserve
to
finally
set
my
spirit
free
I’
m
closing
up
the
curtains
on
this
empty
stage
Turning
to
the
silence
of
a
cleaner
page
I’
m
learning
how
to
love
while
letting
you
go
A
rhythm
in
my
heart
that
you
will
never
know
It’
s
a
burden,
baby,
loving
all
on
my
own
Building
up
a
kingdom
on
a
shifting
throne
I’
ve
paid
the
price
of
wanting
what
I
cannot
hold
Leaving
all
the
embers,
walking
through
the
cold
Yeah,
I’
m
learning
how
to
love
while
letting
you
go
I
know
the
limit,
I
see
the
wall
I
won’
t
let
the
weight
of
it
make
me
fall
It’
s
a
bitter
sweetness,
a
beautiful
ache
Knowing
when
to
bend
before
I
finally
break (
Harp
solo
flows
gently
over
the
steady
beat)
Yeah,
I
see
the
limit
now
I’
m
stepping
off
the
train
So
keep
the
memories
tucked
inside
a
velvet
box
I’
m
changing
out
the
tumblers
on
the
heavy
locks
I’
ve
loved
you
with
the
honesty
that
few
would
show
But
I’
ve
reached
the
ending
of
the
overflow
It
wasn't
wasted,
no,
it
taught
me
how
to
feel
It
taught
me
how
to
distinguish
what
is
false
from
real
I’
m
walking
into
morning
with
a
steady
stride
With
nothing
left
to
carry,
and
nowhere
left
to
hide
I’
m
learning
how
to
love
while
letting
you
go
A
rhythm
in
my
heart
that
you
will
never
know
It’
s
a
burden,
baby,
loving
all
on
my
own
Building
up
a
kingdom
on
a
shifting
throne
I’
ve
paid
the
price
of
wanting
what
I
cannot
hold
Leaving
all
the
embers,
walking
through
the
cold
Yeah,
I’
m
learning
how
to
love
while
letting
you
go
Letting
you
go
Yeah,
it’
s
a
heavy
lesson
But
I’
ve
learned
it
well
Smooth
winds
carry
me
home
Just
me
and
the
truth
Yeah (

out
into
a
soft
piano
decay)
