Prompt:

[Verse 1] I kept your letters in a shoebox Under the bed with the blue paint chips The train yard rusted in my head Every wrong turn left a little grit I used to pick at every scar Like it might spell out who I was But the mirror held the same old face And time kept breathing in the dust [Pre-Chorus] Now the ache is just a weather front Rolling off the back of my name I can hear it, I can feel it pass I don't have to make it stay [Chorus] Let it lie, let it lie Dust in the frame, but I'm still alive Let it go, let it go What was heavy can soften and go I was there, I was there Now I can leave it where it fell Let it lie, let it lie I'm not that wound anymore [Verse 2] There's a crack in the driveway concrete Where we laughed and split the night in two I used to walk it like a border Like the ground owed something to the bruise But the mango tree still leans the same Rain still taps the window glass I learned the past is not a prison Just a room I don't live in now [Pre-Chorus] Now the ache is just a weather front Rolling off the back of my name I can hear it, I can feel it pass I don't have to make it stay [Chorus] Let it lie, let it lie Dust in the frame, but I'm still alive Let it go, let it go What was heavy can soften and go I was there, I was there Now I can leave it where it fell Let it lie, let it lie I'm not that wound anymore [Bridge] If the old ghost knocks again I'll open the door and smile You can't drain the sea with hands You can only cross the mile So I keep the stain, keep the name Keep the shape of what was true Then I set it down in the shade And walk on through [Final Chorus] Let it lie, let it lie Dust in the frame, but I'm still alive Let it go, let it go What was heavy can soften and go I was there, I was there Now I can leave it where it fell Let it lie, let it lie I'm not that wound anymore
