Brothers In Arms Lyrics

The dawn breaks with silent sighs

Another day another goodbye

The wheels keep turning life rolls on

But the shadows of yesterday linger long

I was up before dawn out the door while they stayed

Wrapped in sheets chasing dreams I couldn't afford to trade

You said I was the best but best wasn't good enough

When time and distance pulled the strings on what we called love

Skating wheels on concrete roads rain tapping on the roof

All those promises turned to whispers barely the truth!

This is my last cigarette the final drag of what we fucking had

Breathing in the smoke letting go of the bad

Inevitable like a train wreck but I'm stepping off the tracks

No more looking back no more breaking for the past

He had no job no plans but time to offer you

While I carried the weight of our world you slipped right through

Now I see the truth in the vanilla perfume that fades away

Some things are meant to burn out some things can't stay for that long

Skating wheels on concrete roads rain tapping on the roof

Every lie we told ourselves every moment of youth you ended with puke

This is my last cigarette the final drag of what we fucking had

Breathing in the smoke letting go of the bad

Inevitable like a train wreck but I'm stepping off the tracks

No more looking back no more breaking for the past

The pain will ease the wounds will mend

You'll find the strength to rise again

Break the chains walk away and know

You're not alone and wrong in letting go

So I take a breath let the smoke clear

Leaving the ashes of us right here

No more whispers no more pain

Just the sound of freedom in the falling rain

This is the end where I begin

No more holding on to what could have been

With the last puff I'm finally free

From the chains of you and the ghost of me
