Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You used to save the crusts for me
Cut my toast in tiny hearts
Laughed when I called the porch our stage
You knew my lines by heart
Then your eyes slid off my name
Like it slipped between the tiles
You asked me if we’d met before
I said
“Yeah… it’s been a while”
[Chorus]
Rest now
You’ve carried all my childhood in your hands
You called me by a nickname
Only you could understand
Rest now
If you don’t remember
I still do
So close your tired eyes
I’ll be the one holding you
[Verse 2]
Granddad with the coins up your sleeve
Magic from the Sunday chair
I’d laugh before the trick was done
You pretended not to care (oh)
Then the punchlines lost their steps
Jokes tripped over halfway through
You stared hard at my face and said
“You look… just like someone I knew”
[Chorus]
Rest now
You carried every story to the end
You taught me how to laugh at life
Then start again
My friend
Rest now
If you don’t remember
I still do
So let the daylight fade
I’ll be the one naming you
[Bridge]
I learned your recipes and riddles
Wrote your phrases in my phone
You forgot the way back home
But you built my only home
If your minds turned into winter
I’ll keep summers in my chest
You can lay your heavy years down
I’ll carry all the rest (yeah)
[Chorus]
Rest now
You don’t have to try to stay
Every piece of you that’s missing
Lives inside me anyway
Rest now
If you don’t remember
I still do
So go where you can finally breathe
I’ll go there when my time is through
[Outro]
Rest now
You can let the picture fade
I’ll color in the empty space
With every word you ever said
Rest now
You can let the curtain fall
I’ll whisper who I am to you
Until I don’t need words at all

Style
pop, Tender emo-pop ballad with female vocals over clean electric guitar and soft piano; intimate verses stay hushed and close-mic’d, then the chorus swells with airy pads, subtle toms, and stacked harmonies. Bridge strips back to just voice and a single guitar, then the final chorus blooms wide with echoing backing vocals, a gentle bass undercurrent, and a lingering reverb tail that feels like a goodbye wave., emo
