Emily Plazek - The Chords Strike Lyrics
Found my old songs todayA library full of old words I'd sayRemembered all I sawSuddenly fire lit this heart rawSpanish streets, American rushForests, valleys, hollow's hushThose places, remember you nowSomething died and remained there somehowAnd the chords strikeThe chords strikeThe chordsAnd I had to say goodbye for me to say helloTo this new life without that pain I'd knownI left them all behind, I left those parts to dieBecause I knew if I said goodbyeThen I could choose new lifeAnd the chords strikeThe chords strikeThe chords strikeLook at all I wroteHow I bled, oh how I chokedStrings play the background nowThey're growing and soon they will drownKnew I found my way out,Rewrote every line and doubtBut I loved each of my songsThe rivers that pulled me alongAnd the chords strikeThe chords strikeThe chordsAnd I had to say goodbye for me to say helloTo this new life without that pain I'd knownI left them all behind, I left those parts to dieBecause I knew if I said goodbyeThen I could choose new lifeAnd the chords strikeThe chords strikeThe chords strike
