I Don't Explain

I don't talk about the nights

That tried to take my name

I don't raise my voice

I don't place the blame

I learned early what to keep, what to let go

Some things you carry, some things you don't

I don't need forgiveness from a crowd that left

I stood where I stood, I dealt with myself

I don't explain where I've been

I don't replay how it ended

If I'm still here, there's your proof

I don't explain, I just move

I don't chase what doesn't stay

I don't drink what makes me weak

I don't promise heaven

I just promise I won't leave

I've buried more than words out past the gate

Some lessons stay quiet

That's what makes them stay

I don't speak easy, I speak true

I don't explain where I've been

And I don't replay how it ended

If I'm still here, there's your proof

I don't explain, I just move

Let the past talk, I won't fight it

Let them wonder, I survived it

I don't explain who I am

I don't ask to be understood

If I'm still standin' in my boots

I don't explain, I just move

I just move
