The Cold Exchange

The fire went out and the ash is cold

I'm tired of the stories that we always told

I gave you the world and you wanted the moon

Now you're sitting in the silence of an empty room

I don't feel the sting and i don't feel the ache

I'm just calculating every single breath you take

The loss isn't mine it's a debt that you owe

I'm just the one who finally had the nerve to go

The loyalty is a ghost that i've learned to exorcise

Watching the reflection of the truth inside the eyes

I'm trading the memory for a permanent peace

Waiting for the weight of the shadow to cease

This is the cold exchange for the time i lost

I'm finally the one who is counting the cost

I'm the villain for leaving the bridge in a blaze

Bridge in a blaze, bridge in a blaze

You call it a heartbreak i call it a win

Watching the end of the life we were in

I'm walking away from the ancient ways

Ancient ways

The connection is severed and the signal is dead

I've erased every single word that was said

There is no more room for the person you were

The lines on the page are starting to blur

The evolution is lonely but the air is so sweet

Finally finding the strength to be complete

Cut the tie

Let it fall

I don't hear

You at all

Gone

This is the cold exchange for the time i lost

I'm finally the one who is counting the cost

I'm the villain for leaving the bridge in a blaze

Bridge in a blaze

You call it a heartbreak i call it a win

Watching the end of the life we were in

I'm walking away from the ancient ways

Ancient ways

Keep the change
