Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left your coat on the back of my chair Like a promise that forgot to stay I traced the dust where your footsteps were Then watched the afternoon turn gray I called your name through the apartment walls But the hall kept answering me Some loves arrive with a golden key Some leave you locked outside the door you need [Pre-Chorus] I gave you every honest word You gave me silence dressed as truth Now every road I take remembers The distance between me and you [Chorus] I’m standing tall with a broken heart Still learning how to play my part You took the years, but not my soul You bent the steel, you couldn’t break the whole When the hard wind comes, I’ll face it alone I’ll build my strength from the stones you threw I lost my way when I lost you But I found a road that leads me through [Verse 2] Your photograph is turned to the wall I don’t need proof of what went wrong The room is quiet, the clock moves on And I’m finally hearing my own song I wore your doubt like a second skin Till the mirror showed me something new A man can kneel at the edge of love Then rise with nothing left to prove [Pre-Chorus] I gave you every honest word You gave me silence dressed as truth Now every road I take remembers The distance between me and you [Chorus] I’m standing tall with a broken heart Still learning how to play my part You took the years, but not my soul You bent the steel, you couldn’t break the whole When the hard wind comes, I’ll face it alone I’ll build my strength from the stones you threw I lost my way when I lost you But I found a road that leads me through [Bridge] There’s a scar beneath my Sunday sleeve There’s a name I no longer say I won’t pretend that it never hurt I just won’t let it choose my way [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I’m standing tall with a broken heart Now I know exactly who you are You took the years, but not my soul You bent the steel, you couldn’t break the whole When the hard wind comes, I’ll face it alone I’ll build my strength from the stones you threw I lost my way when I lost you Now I’m walking free from what I knew [Outro] I’m walking free from what I knew One more step, and I’m walking through
