Green lights

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
