West Park

(Verse One)

Let’s go downtown, West Park, where we first met (when I seen you, when I seen you)

I didn’t want to drown, but the sky was a threat,

Our hair soaked through, rain dripped down my regret,

Could you tell I was breaking, could you feel my unrest?

You said, “just hold my hand” but I froze instead,

So I made a bet—if I take you on a second date, maybe I’ll get the chance again…

⸻

(Chorus)

Let’s sit on the bench where we carved our names, and relive the memories,

I don’t know where you’ve been, or if you’ve erased the ghost of me,

West Park was the spark of a life that slipped into centuries—

And I still bleed for the girl I once knew… West Park—it’s true, I just can’t forget you.

⸻

(Verse Two)

I’m lost in the fog of the first words you spoke,

The jacket you wore still clings like smoke,

My head keeps screaming “jump” but my lungs just choke,

Like a time-bomb ticking, but my heart’s been broke.

Every night feels the same, every thought’s a replay,

And I can’t escape the sound of that rainy day.

⸻

(Bridge / Build-up)

But I doubt it’s true,

That I’ll ever get over you…

It’s that time, I say,

Goodbye to the truth I knew.

Will you let me out?

These hands are tied down in noose,

And I’m begging the sky,

That someday I’ll be loosed,

But my heart won’t cut you loose—

I just can’t get over you!

⸻

(Final Chorus)

Let’s sit on the bench where we carved our names, and relive the memories,

I don’t know where you’ve been, or if you’ve erased the ghost of me,

West Park was the spark of a life that slipped into centuries—

And I still bleed for the girl I once knew… West Park—it’s true, I just can’t forget you.
