Step back, untie the knot
You were never mine to keep, only light I caught
I watch you sleep, while I pack my things
No drama, no screams, just the silence rings
Not "you're not enough"
It's "I'm not the one"
Who'll love you right when the morning comes
So I set you free, like the stars into the night
Fly high above, where the northern lights
I am the shadow, you are the sun
My work is done, my work is done
Go find your way, go find a better man
I'll fade away, like the wind upon the sand
You talk of trips, of a life so grand
I nod and smile, but I can't quite stand
A ghost in the hall, I won't slam the door
You deserve so much more than I have in store
Not "you're not enough"
It's "I'm not the one"
Who'll hold you close when the winter comes
So I set you free, like the stars into the night
Fly high above, where the northern lights
I am the shadow, you are the sun
My work is done, my work is done
Go find your way, go find a better man
I'll fade away, like the wind upon the sand
If you ask why, there's no villain here
If you ask why, there's no villain here
Some hearts fit like glass, some like a hand
I'd rather you whole than half-held by mine
You deserve the love that knows how to stay
And that's not me... not today
So I set you free, like the stars into the night
Fly high above, where the northern lights
I am the shadow, you are the sun
My work is done, my work is done
Go find your way, go find a better man
I'll fade away, like the wind upon the sand
Fade... away...
Like the wind...
Upon the sand...
