(Verse 1)
Three hundred sixty five sunsets bled into the night
Since the slammed door echoed stealing all the light
A calendar circled each day a heavy stone
Building this fortress standing here alone
(Verse 2)
Sleepless hours counting cracks upon the wall
Haunted by phone calls I refused to make at all
Your name on a street sign a punch to the gut it brings
Like a phantom limb aching for the touch that clings
(Chorus)
A year in the rearview since that shattering crash
A year just to glue the broken pieces from the ash
Watching the bitterness slowly start to unwind
It'll take another year to leave the poison behind
(Verse 3)
I’m peeling back layers like bark from a wounded tree
Reclaiming the silence finally setting me free
This anger’s a wildfire I’m letting the embers fade
Planting new seeds in the garden that we made
(Bridge)
They say time’s a healer a softly spoken lie
When the scars run deeper than the naked eye can spy
The argument screaming then the car starts to drift
Your guilty eyes in the rearview was the last thing I witnessed
Those whispered betrayals and the love that turned unclean
(Chorus)
A year in the rearview since that shattering crash
A year just to glue the broken pieces from the ash
Watching the bitterness slowly start to unwind
It'll take another year to leave the poison behind
(Outro)
A year has passed and the garden starts to bloom
Sweeping the darkness from this quiet room
But you walk right through me reaching for the light
Turns out I’m the one who didn't make it through that night
