[Intro]
Soft light in the hallway, a quiet room remembers us
Her shadow writes a letter that she never sends to the past
[Verse 1]
I keep the letters folded in the pocket of my mind
Your laughter is a bookmark I keep rereading through the night
We danced on rainy sidewalks till the city woke with a sigh
Now I walk these streets alone, but your echo lingers by my side
[Chorus]
If I could go back to us, I’d tell that younger heart to stay
I'd listen to the quiet warnings the wind kept trying to say
But love is a garden we watered with our own reckless hands
So I’ll bloom in the memory, till the seasons understand
[Verse 2]
I watch the sunrise break like a photograph in the frame
And I’m learning how to let go, learning how to name the pain
Your name is a soft song that hums beneath the morning light
I tell it to the mirror, and it answers with a sigh
[Chorus]
If I could go back to us, I’d tell that younger heart to stay
I'd listen to the quiet warnings the wind kept trying to say
But love is a garden we watered with our own reckless hands
So I’ll bloom in the memory, till the seasons understand
[Bridge]
Maybe love was a doorway that opened when we needed to learn
What endings teach us gently, about all the places we still yearn
[Chorus]
If I could go back to us, I’d tell that younger heart to stay
I'd listen to the quiet warnings the wind kept trying to say
But love is a garden we watered with our own reckless hands
So I’ll bloom in the memory, till the seasons understand
[Outro]
Until the memory fades to whispers, I’ll carry you like a soft refrain
A girl, a past love, and the room that knows my name
