Burn Till the Room Changes (versione 2)

Verse

Last train's leaving the platform slow

Your jacket still smells like snow

The ticket booth lights are flickering down

I fold your scarf before it hits the ground

Six months of this same four walls

Same coffee shop where we used to stall

But tonight I see every lighted exit sign

And I feel my chest begin to align

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why am I standing here like stone when the whole world's burning out of gold

Is it fear or is it just this feeling low that I've never known before?

Chorus

I'm lighting a match and letting go, watching shadows turn into flame

Every goodbye now feels like an invitation to a brighter name

Burn till the room changes, burn till it's gold again

I was hiding behind what we had, but now I see it — I am not afraid of change

Verse

Your letter said maybe this is meant to break

But something about the words made me awake

For the first time in a long while I'm not crying on my floor

I've been carrying all these years for nothing more

The sky was gray at five a.m. when we parted ways

Now it's orange and the whole block is changing shades

Every stranger passing by looks like they know where to go

So why do I still feel so small, so slow?

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why am I standing here like stone when the whole world's burning out of gold

Is it fear or is it just this feeling low that I've never known before?

Chorus

I'm lighting a match and letting go, watching shadows turn into flame

Every goodbye now feels like an invitation to a brighter name

Burn till the room changes, burn till it's gold again

I was hiding behind what we had, but now I see it — I am not afraid of change

Bridge

Maybe love wasn't meant to last forever, maybe it was just a fire to light the path

That taught me how to feel when everything feels dark

So I won't waste another second holding onto someone else's past

I'll burn like that and trust that the smoke will lift at last

Chorus

I'm lighting a match and letting go, watching shadows turn into flame

Every goodbye now feels like an invitation to a brighter name

Burn till the room changes, burn till it's gold again

I was hiding behind what we had, but now I see it — I am not afraid of change
