Atlas & The Light - Upon The Bedroom Door

Intro

Verse 1

There's a lock upon the bedroom door

And silence in the hall

The ghosts of all our promises

Still hanging on the walls

I hear the engine leaving late

The gravel shifts below

I don't ask where you're heading now

'Cause I already know

And every room still speaks your name

Though I swear I've let it die

Funny how a house can feel so full

When there's nobody inside

Pre-Chorus

And I could curse your restless heart

Or the strangers in your wake

But all that anger turns to dust

The moment daybreak breaks

Chorus

'Cause I don't want you back

No, I don't want you back

But I still mourn the life we built

And everything we had

The fire's gone to ash

The story's torn in half

And all that's left is learning how

To walk beyond the path

That led me home to you

Verse 2

You said your soul was tired, love

Worn thin beneath the weight

Now I hear your laughter through the dark

Like grief can somehow wait

And maybe all these passing lights

Will keep the cold away

But every borrowed hand you hold

Still disappears by day

And maybe I'm a fool to care

Or wonder where this leads

But questions make poor company

When you're alone with memories

Pre-Chorus

So I count the cracks within these walls

And measure what remains

Trying not to lose myself

Inside another name

Chorus

'Cause I don't want you back

No, I don't want you back

But I still mourn the life we built

And everything we had

The fire's gone to ash

The story's torn in half

And all that's left is learning how

To walk beyond the path

That led me home to you

Bridge

And if I lose the work I've known

If every plan falls through

If Friday comes and takes its toll

I'll still outlive the truth

That I was more than just your blame

More than every fight

More than all the worst of me

You held up to the light

And somewhere in the years ahead

When this hurt has run its course

I'll remember who I was before

I forgot my own worth

Chorus

'Cause I don't want you back

No, I don't want you back

But I still mourn the life we built

And everything we had

The fire's gone to ash

The story's torn in half

And all that's left is learning how

To walk beyond the path

That led me home to you

Chorus

'Cause I don't want you back

No, I don't want you back

But I still mourn the life we built

And everything we had

The fire's gone to ash

The story's torn in half

And all that's left is learning how

To walk beyond the path

I don't want you back

No, I don't want you back

The woman that I loved is gone

And she ain't coming back

But I'll keep this house alive

I'll keep this heart intact

And every road that waits for me

Will never lead me back

No, every road that waits for me

Will never lead me back

Outro

There's a lock upon the bedroom door

But the whole world's outside...
