paper harbors - the art of letting go lyrics
intro:
ohh+ohh+ohh…
ohh+ohh+ohh…
ohh+ohh+ohh…
ohh+ohh+ohh…
[verse 1]
i found your sweater in the backseat threadbare
still holds the shape of the nights we’d share
the coffee cup you left half+full
now grows cold in the silence of this empty room
the piano gathers dust where you’d play
clair de lune in the dimming day
your perfume lingers like a ghost in the air
a love i wear, a love i can’t repair
[pre+chorus]
oh, the cracks in the floor still creak your name
a requiem for the vows we maimed
i trace the lines your laughter drew
a masterpiece i’m erasing you from
[chorus]
this is the art of letting go
where the brushstrokes bleed what words don’t know
every color’s a lie i’ve spun
a portrait of us, undone, undone
oh, this is the art of letting go
a gallery of ghosts in the afterglow
i’ll hang our love where the light won’t show
a museum of what we outgrew
[verse 2]
your letters yellow in the attic’s hush
ink dissolving into ash and rust
i read them once, then let them fall
like autumn leaves that never meant to stall
the dog still waits by the door at five
whines for a hand that’s no longer alive
i bury my face in his fur and pretend
your shadow’s just around the bend
[pre+chorus]
oh, the clock’s a traitorous friend
counting seconds to the bitter end
i drown the ticks in whiskey neat
a toast to the love we couldn’t keep
[chorus]
this is the art of letting go
where the brushstrokes bleed what words don’t know
every color’s a lie i’ve spun
a portrait of us, undone, undone
oh, this is the art of letting go
a gallery of ghosts in the afterglow
i’ll hang our love where the light won’t show
a museum of what we outgrew
[bridge]
i’ll burn the canvases one by one
watch our history come undone
but the smoke still curls your name in the air
a final stroke, a silent prayer
[outro]
i’m learning to paint with the shades of alone…
but god, i miss the colors we’ve known
