American Winter

The sunset is my escape
Silence eases all the pain
I’m not the one to break your fall
Just another caustic phase
Your bleeding heart bled for a purpose
Love filled with black and blue
My deepest regrets rise
Inside I always knew
And I was born to run
Nowhere to go
I’m holding onto what I know
Because I’ve learned to let go
Grab all your baggage, it’s back to the station
The train is departing with no hesitation
All these ‘goodbyes' amount to nothing
When you return to find out
I never was loving
I just needed some space
To drown the dark feelings
That engulfed my heart in flames
Save me from this place
I’ve been led astray
Time to choose my faith
Or I’ll lose my way
