I can hold on To these memories every day For as long as I breathe But it won't help me So I cut myself free Shed the weight of my history 'Til I finally see The city below me Higher and higher I climb Better to leave them, leave them behind The last time I left Is as clear as the day we met Old films on repeat Projected within me Dedicated But they won't distract me From the view before me This is my new start Higher and higher I climb Better to leave you, leave you behind So I turn darkness into light Now I have nothing left to hide It's never that complicated Life's simpler than I've made it Green lights up ahead And I'm alright Look back behind me I see our history Flashing before me now The hurt and the beauty Each little intimacy One last time I'll leave it behind So I turn darkness into light Now I have nothing left to hide It's never that complicated Life's simpler than I've made it Green lights up ahead And I'm alright I can hold on To these memories every day For as long as I breathe So this is goodbye I turn darkness into light Now I have nothing left to hide It's never that complicated Life's simpler than I've made it Green lights up ahead Yeah And I'm alright Watch me turn away 'cause I'm never coming back Yeah, I turned away 'cause I'm never coming back Not ever Can't wait forever
