Carry No Score

[Verse 1]
Mara, your laugh still cuts through the rain
I pass that old arcade and feel it again
You wanted a life with the edges all neat
I was all wrong turns and a backbeat

[Pre-Chorus]
We held on hard till the color ran thin
I won’t call it failure just because it had to end

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the ones I loved before
You left your mark; I carry no score
I can miss you without turning back
Let the years fall loose, let the heart unclasp
Goodbye, goodbye—I mean it this time
Your name can stay yours; my life can be mine

[Verse 2]
Jonah, that summer was all cheap fireworks
We swore we were different, then repeated the worst
I kept your old joke, but I’ve outgrown the sting
Some memories soften when you stop feeding them

[Pre-Chorus]
We held on hard till the color ran thin
I won’t call it failure just because it had to end

[Chorus]
Goodbye to the ones I loved before
You left your mark; I carry no score
I can miss you without turning back
Let the years fall loose, let the heart unclasp
Goodbye, goodbye—I mean it this time
Your name can stay yours; my life can be mine

[Bridge]
No blame in the leaving, no debt to repay
I loved who I was there, and I’m changing today

[Final Chorus]
Goodbye to the ones I loved before
You left your mark; I carry no score
I can miss you without turning back
Let the years fall loose, let the heart unclasp
Goodbye, goodbye—I mean it this time
Your name can stay yours; my life can be mine
