i read your tear stained words
you said you can’t live this way
how you want to be free
and you just tried to hold on
is what you told yourself
your shoulders are weak
it’s hard to carry this weight
promise me that you’ll remember this day
just to reach to you and say
that there’s places in this world
like the bleakest northern light
frozen ground beneath your feet
where you can be free
where you can be free
