Only One Who Came to School

[Intro]
Sound of distant laughter, faded into a whisper
Now echoing of what we lost

[Verse 1]
Walking through these halls where your echoes stay
Fighting back tears, trying not to stray
You were the only one who came to school every day
Your smile masked the pain you couldn't say

[Pre-Chorus]
Thought we had forever, but time slipped away
Now I wear these scars of yesterday
Just a kid with a heart so heavy
Wanna turn back, oh, if only we could carry

[Chorus]
Forever in the memories, never goodbye
Your laughter in my head, I still hear your cry
High school’s a ghost town without your face
Hope you're at peace, in a better place

[Bridge]
We were boxes of crayons in a messy drawer
Now I see the colors you can't ignore
Your spirit’s free, floating high and wide
Though I miss you, I know you’ve survived

[Outro]
You were the only one who came to school every day
Now I hold onto your light, come what may

Pop-punk, upbeat, angsty; guitar-driven, energetic, raw vocals, sounds like The Story so Far
