rest your head on the ashes of a sun
glory days are fading faster than the tides have come
lay your wreckage heart upon the shore
nothing here will be able to hurt you anymore

let it go
like a fallen soldier
let it go
like a fallen soldier

rest your head on the ashes of a star
sleeping houses weigh too much no matter who you are
take your dying flower in the vein
courage will no longer cause you any more pain

let it go
let it go
like a fallen soldier
let it go
like a wave in the ocean does
let it go
like a fallen soldier

you were a sun
you were a star
you were a ride in a crashing car
you were a heart
broken in two
half is alright, the other's been used
you were a light
at the edge of the world
you were so righteous
you were somebody's girl
you were a key to a lock in a door
it never opened
don't be sore

[repeat chorus]
