*Lavender* 💜
_Verse 1_
Fields stretch quiet under a late June sky
Purple waves breathing where the soft winds lie
Your voice was summer, but you left in spring
Now I talk to flowers, ‘cause they’re the only thing
_Pre-Chorus_
That stay when people go
That bloom without a show
Teach me how to let go slow
_Chorus_
Lavender, lavender — calm me down tonight
Color of the healing when the world feels too bright
If I press you to my chest, will the ache turn light?
Lavender, lavender — wash my heart in white
Lavender, lavender
_Verse 2_
I kept every letter you never got to send
Folded up the future we were meant to mend
Now I plant those words in soil, watch ‘em grow
Maybe peace is something you have to sow
_Bridge_
And if the night gets heavy, if the thoughts get loud
I’ll count to ten with petals, count my breaths out loud
Inhale the quiet, exhale the fight
Turn the dark to dusk, then dusk to light
_Final Chorus_
Lavender, lavender — calm me down tonight
You taught me grief can soften, scars can be alright
If love was just a season, let this be the one
Where I learn to bloom again, one petal at a time
Lavender, lavender — I’m still growing, I’m still fine
