SoberintheSilence

Midnight stains on crystal glasses,
Your reflection blurs in the low light,
We danced in circles, chasing echoes,
A love preserved in amber, fading out of sight.
Whispers tangled in the barroom haze,
Our promises dissolved like sugar cubes,
I trace the rings where our glasses met,
A silent toast to wounds we never sutured.
But the clock ticks towards a sober dawn,
This intoxication wears a fragile crown,
I feel the weight of your ghost lifting,
As the stars dim down in this thirsty town.
AndI''m leaning on the edge of goodbye,
Breathing in the scent of rain- soached streets,
Ready to shatter this glass prison wide,
Let the fragments cut me free.
I let go of the love we distilled in vain,
I let go of the tears we bottled as champagne,
I let go of the dreams we fermented with pain,
''Cause your heartain''t mine, no more itain''t mine.
I let go of the love we distilled in vain,
I let go of the tears we bottled as champagne,
I let go of the dreams we fermented with pain,
''Cause your heartain''t mine, no more itain''t mine.
Yo, we mixed emotions in vintage decanters,
Thought we could age like fine wine, but it shattered,
NowI''m pouring out the lies, no more answers,
Thislove''s a hangover,I''m stepping lighter,
Sober in the silence, mysoul''s a fighter,
No more drowning in your sweet disaster.
See,I''ve been draining glasses, chasing echoes,
Watching our memories turn to sediment,
This vintage love got too bitter to swallow,
NowI''m spitting out the bitterness, no more resentment,
Thebar''s closing early on this chapter,
No last call for your empty promises,
I''m collecting the shards of my composure,
Building a new mosaic from the losses.
The fermentation of our time together,
Left too much sediment at the bottom,
I''m filtering out the cloudy weather,
This clarity hits different,I''m not gonna soften,
What we bottled up was never meant to breathe,
The cork popped too late, thesparkle''s gone,
I''m trading champagne dreams for morning coffee,
And learning how to face the dawn alone.
AndI''m leaning on the edge of goodbye,
Breathing in the scent of rain- soached streets,
Ready to shatter this glass prison wide,
Let the fragments cut me free.
I let go of the love we distilled in vain,
I let go of the tears we bottled as champagne,
I let go of the dreams we fermented with pain,
''Cause your heartain''t mine, no more itain''t mine.
I let go of the love we distilled in vain,
I let go of the tears we bottled as champagne,
I let go of the dreams we fermented with pain,
''Cause your heartain''t mine, no more itain''t mine.
In the clarity ofmorning''s first light,
No more drunken vows to hold me tight,
This liberation tastes like honesty,
A bittersweet brew setting me free.
I let go of the love we distilled in vain,
I let go of the tears we bottled as champagne,
I let go of the dreams we fermented with pain,
''Cause your heartain''t mine, no more itain''t mine.
I let go of the love we distilled in vain,
I let go of the tears we bottled as champagne,
I let go of the dreams we fermented with pain,
''Cause your heartain''t mine, no more itain''t mine.
Let go, let go, into the neon glow,
Alcohol and love, a faded show,
I''m washed clean in this river flow,
Free at last, free to grow.
