Lyrics and translation
Original
We were starin' down disaster
That night, we almost called it quits
You said that you were changin' chapters
I said, "This can't be where it ends"
Not even poetry can fix this
Right now, we both need more than words
If we give up, we're gonna miss this
Can we remember who we were?
Standin' on St. Bridget's Road
Where we finally let it go
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
We didn't bother buyin' roses
'Cause we ain't ever goin' back
I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I barely know about today
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watched the hurt go up in flames
Grief is such a solid promise
Joy just leaves you in the rain
Sadness waits down in the lobby
Solace stood you up again
I'm thankful for the darkness
Everything it let me see
So much beauty in the storm
Like how you turned to me
If I'm honest, you're the reason that the light gets in at all
You're the song that breaks the silence
You're the smile at curtain call
I'm scared of who I'd be without you much more than you know
If I seem strong, it's just a show
Standin' on St. Bridget's Road
Where we finally let it go
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
We didn't bother buyin' roses
'Cause we ain't ever goin' back
I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I barely know about today
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watched the hurt go up in flames
No, no, no, we ain't ever goin' back
No, no, no, we ain't ever goin' back
We held a funeral for heartache
We buried trouble in the grass
We didn't bother buyin' roses
'Cause we ain't ever goin' back
I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I barely know about today
We set a fire to our sorrow
And watched the hurt go up in flames
