A Song For the Sunset - Departures

With baited breath

Waiting for the promise of something more

Feet unsteady, not so sure

With baited breath

And looking over the edge

Stare at everything that I used to be

I learned the art of keeping secrets from everyone I know

I’ve learned to keep my broken promises

Keep them inside and let them grow

I can’t keep looking forward without staring back behind

There are so many things that I should forget

And not keep them locked inside

Falling back in love with all that doubt I used to feel

It wrapped me up so tightly

Those darkened days they always shine the brightest

In their own imperfect way

Those darkest days they always burn the brightest

In my faulty memory

I can’t live within, I don’t want to live without

Collecting all those memories and throwing them all out

I can’t live within, don’t want to live without

Collecting all these memories and throwing them out

Throwing them out

Watch as it all falls back into place

I need to keep living in this feeling of grace

Everything comes full circle
