[Verse 1]
Boxes in the corner, memories inside
Old letters, old photos, all I tried to hide
I thought I’d moved on, left it in the dust
But the past has a way of coming back to trust
Late nights, quiet thoughts creeping in
Moments of doubt, wondering where to begin
I don’t dwell, I don’t let it define
But I feel the tug of that old line
[Pre-Chorus]
Loose ends don’t break me, they remind me
I’ve come far, but they still find me
[Chorus]
Loose ends, they whisper my name
Shadows of yesterday, never the same
I’m standing now, but I see the ties
Threads of the past in my present eyes
Loose ends, I feel but I won’t fall
I’ve learned to live through it all
I’m stronger now, I won’t pretend
But the past still lingers — loose ends
[Verse 2]
Familiar streets, familiar mistakes
I see the footprints that fear still takes
But I walk forward, steady and slow
I don’t chase ghosts, I let them go
Friends remind me, love keeps me near
But old regrets sometimes appear
I don’t fight them, I don’t hide
I face them quiet, I face them with pride
[Pre-Chorus]
Loose ends don’t break me, they remind me
I’ve come far, but they still find me
[Chorus]
Loose ends, they whisper my name
Shadows of yesterday, never the same
I’m standing now, but I see the ties
Threads of the past in my present eyes
Loose ends, I feel but I won’t fall
I’ve learned to live through it all
I’m stronger now, I won’t pretend
But the past still lingers — loose ends
[Bridge]
Yeah, some nights I replay it, I confess
Some nights I feel that weight of stress
But I breathe, I pause, I don’t let it win
I’ve got today, I’ll live within
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Loose ends, they whisper my name
Shadows of yesterday, never the same
I’m standing now, but I see the ties
Threads of the past in my present eyes
Loose ends, I feel but I won’t fall
I’ve learned to live through it all
I’m stronger now, I won’t pretend
But the past still lingers — loose ends
