Histories That Rhyme lyrics

We carried shadows long before we met I wore a map of disappointments A ghost of promises I couldn't keep Old wounds that ached on sunless mornings Secrets guarded in my sleep You spoke of battles no one ever saw A quiet strength you learned to build alone The hollow echo of a closing door A heart that turned itself to stone And in the telling, in the space between I saw a language I had always known Your scars did not frighten me They shone like silver in the fading light Our broken stories learned to breathe Two histories that rhyme in the deep of the night How did we learn to survive? All those years we were walking blind! But every hurt and every tear we cried Was just the road that led me here To find Your scars did not frighten me! They shone like silver in the fading light! Our histories became the bridge for us to see And finally find our peace in the dead of the night Home (Ah)
