Kuwawa Rise

[Intro] Quiet streets hum with rain, a clock of sighs ticking time I walk the edge of memory, where your name still rings like chimes [Verse 1] I didn’t plan to fall, thought I walked a steady line Then silence grew between us, your laughter fell behind The dawn clouded over every plan I drew in light But I kept a stubborn shadow, you taught me how to fight [Pre-Chorus] Leftover sparks in the corners of my heart I tell myself it’s late, but I’m not ready to start over [Chorus] Kuwawa, the ache that taught me to breathe again Kuwawa, I rise from the wreck and begin Memories cling like rain, but I’m learning to stand tall Kuwawa, I’m moving on, I’m letting the night fall [Verse 2] Fading hope like a lighthouse fading into mist I chase the light that once burned bright in your kiss The photos fade to grey, yet the strength stays within I gather every shard of grief and turn them into gin [Pre-Chorus] Small steps echo as I redraw my own map The road ahead is jagged, but I’ll walk it with my back straight [Chorus] Kuwawa, the ache that taught me to breathe again Kuwawa, I rise from the wreck and begin Memories cling like rain, but I’m learning to stand tall Kuwawa, I’m moving on, I’m letting the night fall [Bridge] If longing is a river, I’ll learn to swim the current If love once broke me, I’ll mend the pieces into courage [Chorus] Kuwawa, the ache that taught me to breathe again Kuwawa, I rise from the wreck and begin Memories cling like rain, but I’m learning to stand tall Kuwawa, I’m moving on, I’m letting the night fall [Outro] I march through dawn’s pale gold, the pain reduced to a rhyme Kuwawa fades to quiet strength, a future forged in time
