[Intro]
Soft rain taps the window, a whisper in the night
I keep your memory like a lamp in the dark
[Verse 1]
We carved our names on the old arcade wall
Laughed in late trains, the ticket stubs in your hand
You said forever, but forever moved slow
Now I trace your shadow where the streetlights glow
[Chorus]
I’m learning to love the quiet when you’re not here
To piece together all the broken hours, clear
If love is a lesson, I’m still on page one
But I’m not afraid to dream again with the dawn
[Verse 2]
Your sweater’s sleeve still fits my winter rain
I hear your voice in the rustle of the autumn trains
I kept the note you wrote between the margins wide
A promise folded softly, tucked up inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Time takes what we borrow, leaves what we need
I’m learning to breathe through the memories
[Chorus]
I’m learning to love the quiet when you’re not here
To piece together all the broken hours, clear
If love is a lesson, I’m still on page one
But I’m not afraid to dream again with the dawn
[Bridge]
Maybe love comes back like a familiar song
Maybe the heart learns to wait, to carry on
[Chorus]
I’m learning to love the quiet when you’re not here
To piece together all the broken hours, clear
If love is a lesson, I’m still on page one
But I’m not afraid to dream again with the dawn
[Outro]
The rain slows down, I close my eyes and smile
Past love, you return in the softest light
