Fade in the Pines

Verse 1

Met you in a season when the shadows felt loud,
Old ghosts rising while the world spun down.
Didn’t look for a flame, didn’t ask for a spark,
But you lit up the ridge like a torch in the dark.
Hours felt like days when we sunk in deep,
Those months of closeness that most don’t reach.
You talked about a future like you saw it in your sleep,
I held every word like a promise I could keep.

Hook

Now I roam through the pines where your voice still stays,
Cutting pathways through the memories we made.
Heavy is the silence when the truth don’t speak,
You were sunlight once — now you’re fog in the trees.

Verse 2

You opened up soft, let me see behind the frame,
Heart worn thin but you gave me your name.
Held your breath on the edge of a brand-new start,
But the past pulled you back like a hand on your heart.
Didn’t say goodbye — you just drifted like smoke,
Left me standing in the timber with the words you never spoke.
Should I reach? Should I wait? Should I let this ache fade?
Guess the forest knows the answer by the shadows it made.

Hook 2

Now I roam through the pines where your voice still stays,
Cutting pathways through the memories we made.
Heavy is the silence when the truth don’t speak,
You were sunlight once — now you’re fog in the trees.

Bridge (Dark, Low, Spoken)

Maybe you were healing, maybe I was a light,
Maybe timing was a monster we couldn’t really fight.
If you ever come back, I’ll hear your steps in the night…
But I’m done chasing echoes that never call right.

Outro

So I fire up the steel, let the hillside breathe,
Let the work clear the weight that you left on me.
If our chapter’s done, then let the forest be free —
Just know part of me waits in the place you used to be.
