A Different Sky

By Ray Wilder

[Verse 1]
I learned the shape of silence at your table
Kept every apology folded in my sleeve
You made a joke of all the things I trusted
Then asked me why I found it hard to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you every morning I could carry
You took the good and left me with the blame
One more night, and I was nearly disappearing
Then something in me finally said my name

[Chorus]
I suffered for a love that walked right over me
You made me small, then said it was my fault
I nearly lost myself believing I could save us
But I let go before I vanished altogether
Now I’m starting from the ground in somewhere new
With open hands, a different sky, a life I choose

[Verse 2]
I packed the coat you mocked me for still wearing
A photograph, a key that fit no door
I crossed a border with my fear beside me
And watched the old address recede once more

[Pre-Chorus]
The first new morning tasted strange and honest
No careful steps to keep you satisfied
I was scared, but every breath belonged to me
And that was enough to make me try

[Chorus]
I suffered for a love that walked right over me
You made me small, then said it was my fault
I nearly lost myself believing I could save us
But I let go before I vanished altogether
Now I’m starting from the ground in somewhere new
With open hands, a different sky, a life I choose

[Bridge]
You don’t get to name what I survived
Or keep the years I’m taking back tonight
I came with nothing, still I came alive
And every step away is mine

[Final Chorus]
I suffered for a love that walked right over me
You made me small, but I’m not yours to break
I nearly lost myself believing I could save us
Now I’m learning how to give my heart a safer place
I’m starting from the ground in somewhere new
With open hands, a different sky, a life I choose

[Outro]
A different sky, a life I choose
I’m starting over, starting new
