Empty Hallway Promise

Old waiting room, the paint is peeling back

Fluorescent tubes are cold,

the hallway's black

I sat beside your bed right here,

afraid of what might be

You reached your hand to mine,

and whispered back to me

We swore right then we'd hold on tight,

never let it slide

But healing took us different paths,

drifting with the tide

Surviving wasn't staying, I see that clearly now (ooh-ooh-ooh)

These empty walls are coming down next spring They're locking up the

doors to everything

I'm not here asking for you back,

or looking for a spark Just witnessing the place we left our

promise in the dark

We swore right then we'd hold on tight,

never let it slide

But healing took us different paths,

drifting with the tide

Surviving wasn't staying, I see that clearly now

We broke the vow we made when fear was high We let

the comfort fade, we let it die No anger left,

no bitter words to trace Just gratitude we made it out of

this place (ahhhh)

(we survived)

We swore right then we'd hold on tight,

never let it slide

But healing took us different paths,

drifting with the tide

Surviving wasn't staying, I see that clearly now (I see it now)

I walk out to the street,

the sun is coming through

I'm letting go of us,

and letting go of you (hmmm)
