Silver threads on a borrowed sky
Lanterns glow, but I walk on by
Glass half-full, a shadowed glow
An empty vale I’ll never go
I’ve carried weight that was never mine
Fractured ties I can’t rewind
But choosing me was choosing true
Even if it cut in two
The hush of glass, the heavy air
A ghost sits down in my empty chair
Some choices wound, but still they mend
The kind that break, the kind that end
I was a vacant row, a shadowed song
The quiet part they’ll hum along
I kept the vow I made to me
To stay unbroken, to stay free
What I missed, I’ll never know
So I became the vacant row
Silver threads on a fraying seam
I slipped away into the dream
Kept my silence, paid my due
Chose the healing over you
I hope someday the silence speaks
Of why I left, of what it keeps
The pain was sharp, but so was grace
I found myself in empty space
Ash on water, drifting slow
What I carried, none will know
I missed the dance, I missed the song
But I am learning where I belong
I was a vacant row, a shadowed song
The quiet part they’ll hum along
I kept the vow I made to me
To stay unbroken, to stay free
What I missed, I’ll never know
So I became the vacant row
Will the ghost recall my name?
Will it forgive the choice I claimed?
I whisper love into the rain
And hope our paths might cross again
Maybe one day, the silence bends
And offers mercy in the end
But for tonight, the choice was mine
To draw the line, to cross the line
I was a vacant row, a shadowed song
The quiet part they’ll hum along
I kept the vow I made to me
To stay unbroken, to stay free
What I missed, I’ll never know
So I remain the vacant row
Silver threads on a borrowed sky
Lanterns glow, but I walk on by
Glass half-full, a shadowed glow
An empty vale I’ll never go
I’ve carried weight that was never mine
Fractured ties I can’t rewind
But choosing me was choosing true
Even if it cut in two
The hush of glass, the heavy air
A ghost sits down in my empty chair
Some choices wound, but still they mend
The kind that break, the kind that end
I was a vacant row, a shadowed song
The quiet part they’ll hum along
I kept the vow I made to me
To stay unbroken, to stay free
What I missed, I’ll never know
So I became the vacant row
I was a vacant row, a shadowed song
The quiet part they’ll hum along
I kept the vow I made to me
To stay unbroken, to stay free
What I missed, I’ll never know
So I became the vacant row
In the silence, in the space
Still loving from a safer place
Lanterns fade, the night moves on
I am here, though I am gone
In the silence, in the space
Still loving from a safer place
Lanterns fade, the night moves on
I am here, though I am gone
