[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The floorboards still remember the weight of your stride
But the air in this room has nowhere to hide.
We’ve got a thousand Sundays stitched into our skin,
From the battles we lost to the grace we let in.
I’m looking at your hands, and they look like home,
But your spirit is already starting to roam.
I didn’t survive the storms and the heavy debris
To watch you become a ghost sitting next to me.
[Verse 2]
I remember the nights when the world felt too loud,
And we were the only ones under the cloud.
We’ve bled for this version of "us" that we made,
Through the debts that we owed and the price that we paid.
How do I just unlearn the sound of your name?
How do I stand still while you’re quitting the game?
It feels like a treason to let it all go,
After planting the seeds and watching them grow.
[Pre-Chorus]
But your eyes are like windows with the shutters pulled tight,
And I’m tired of being the only one holding the light.
The grip of my fingers is starting to ache
[Chorus]
If I let you go, will the room learn my name again?
If I step outside, will the rain wash away the pain?
I’m trying to stay brave in the face of goodbye
But the love we built still trembles, then sighs
[Verse 3]
We built a map of promises on a weathered wall,
But time drew the lines between us, one by one, small and tall.
I hear your footsteps fading down the hall,
And I’m reaching for a hand that’s already gone from where I stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
But your eyes are like windows with the shutters pulled tight,
And I’m tired of being the only one holding the light.
The grip of my fingers is starting to ache
[Chorus]
If I let you go, will the room learn my name again?
If I step outside, will the rain wash away the pain?
I’m trying to stay brave in the face of goodbye
But the love we built still trembles, then sighs
[Bridge]
Maybe endings are seeds we bury in the heart’s old soil,
To sprout a quieter morning beyond the turmoil and the toil.
[Chorus]
If I let you go, will the room learn my name again?
If I step outside, will the rain wash away the pain?
I’m trying to stay brave in the face of goodbye
But the love we built still trembles, then sighs
[Outro]
I’ll carry the echoes of us as I walk toward the light,
With a gentler goodbye and a softer goodnight.
