Departures Lyrics

[Intro]
Today all colors are bleeding
Across the ocean
I am sorry I couldn't stay

[Verse 1]
How does it feel to own what you are
To unstitch your heart without causing a flood
To fall but never ceasing to believe
In light taking over darkness
To breathe life in serenity

[Chorus]
If only I knew how to forgive
If only I knew how to let go
If only I knew how to own what I am


[Verse 2]
Galaxies away
I am riding the waves of the lost
Lead this ship astray
Make me hate you again

Fear, trust, guilt, love
In the grip of a coming storm
I am sinking under the weight
Of a troubled sun
[Bridge]
When bitterness conquered the heart
And left us crawling in the cold

Screaming worth a lifetime
With a voice of a follower
Always too soon
Always too late

Screaming worth a lifetime
With a voice of a follower
Always too soon
Always too late
Always in between

[Chorus]
If only I knew how to forgive
If only I knew how to let go
If only I knew how to own what I am


If only I knew how to forgive
If only I knew how to let go
If only I knew how to own what I am

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
