[Intro]
Rain taps the window like a steady clock
Footsteps echo where you used to walk
I chain my breath to the rhythm of the rain
Learning how to stand when I’d rather fall again
[Verse 1]
I walk a street that’s washed in gray
Your shadow fades but your voice still stays
Every puddle mirrors a memory’s edge
I gather courage from the tremble in my legs
[Pre-Chorus]
If tears are rivers, I’ll learn to sail
Finding a shoreline in a stormy tale
[Chorus]
I’m learning to live with what I can’t hold
To find the warmth in the cold and the bold in the old
Rain-laced reflections teach me to breathe on my own
To carry the ache and keep moving forward, home grown
[Verse 2]
Neon signs blur like distant stars
I count the losses, I count the scars
But every step is a quiet vow I keep
That strength can grow where sorrow sleeps
[Pre-Chorus]
If heartbreak is a road, I pace it slow
With every tremor, I’m learning how to go
[Chorus]
I’m learning to live with what I can’t hold
To find the warmth in the cold and the bold in the old
Rain-laced reflections teach me to breathe on my own
To carry the ache and keep moving forward, home grown
[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow the clouds will clear just enough
To show a sky that forgives, to feel a stubborn love
[Chorus]
I’m learning to live with what I can’t hold
To find the warmth in the cold and the bold in the old
Rain-laced reflections teach me to breathe on my own
To carry the ache and keep moving forward, home grown
[Outro]
Rain hushes down, I rise a little more
A steady heartbeat finding the open door
