All the things we leave behind

You keep a picture to remind you
Mark the page and bide your time
Never put the past behind you
Never walked on down the line

All your dreams are tired or broken
All your hopes have washed away
Happy endings are for dreamers
At least that's what I heard you say

Build a pyre, build it high
Raise the flames up to the sky
Burn the memories
And the traces that you find
Of all the things we leave behind

Told yourself you would forget her
And the happiness you had
But the memories still linger
Of the good times and the bad

Can't escape the things that haunt you
I'm not sure you even try
Fool yourself that it was easy
To turn the page and say goodbye

Build a pyre, build it high
Raise the flames up to the sky
Burn the memories
And the traces that you find
Of all the things we leave behind

Dig a hole and dig it deep
For the fears that you keep
Bury your sorrows and all remaining signs
Of all the things we leave behind
