Verse 1
I don’t say your name much
But it still knows the way
It shows up in small moments
I don’t plan, I don’t chase
I’ve learned how to be present
How to live where I am
But there’s a comfort in knowing
You still understand
Pre-Chorus
We weren’t careless or lost
We were doing our best
Two hearts learning timing
Isn’t always a test
Chorus
If the timing hadn’t ruined us
If life had eased its grip
We wouldn’t be a question
We’d be something we lived
You’re the place my heart returns to
Every time I’m alone
Not a love I got over
Just the one I call home
Verse 2
I’ve met good people since you
And I mean that sincerely
But they don’t quite see me
The way you see me
You’re in the calm, not the chaos
In the laugh, not the ache
In the way I still smile
When your memory wakes
Pre-Chorus
I don’t replay the ending
I don’t wish we’d changed a thing
I just know what it felt like
And how rare that can be
Chorus
If the timing hadn’t ruined us
If life had eased its grip
We wouldn’t be a question
We’d be something we lived
You’re the place my heart returns to
Every time I’m alone
Not a love I got over
Just the one I call home
Bridge
Maybe love doesn’t disappear
It just learns how to wait
Maybe some connections
Don’t need fixing to stay
I don’t need another ending
I don’t need a sign
I’m okay with the knowing
You showed up in my life
Final Chorus (gentle lift)
If the timing hadn’t ruined us
If the world had slowed its pace
We wouldn’t live in “almost”
We’d be waking up the same
You’re the place my heart returns to
Every time I’m alone
Not a love I got over
Just the one I call home
Outro
Some love doesn’t hurt
It just stays
Quietly
