Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You held my hand like it meant forever But your eyes were miles ahead We carved our names on that weathered old cedar Now the wind whispers what we never said Reading that, I wouldn’t trust Words can lie when hearts combust You said “it’s nothing,” but silence screams I was drowning in the quiet between [Chorus] Cold river, run wild and free Take the pieces you stole from me Not long ago we were 23 Now you’re a ghost in every dream Leaving you — is that a must? Or is it just the price of trust? I keep chasing shadows in the dust But you’re not coming back to us [Verse 2] We were fire in July heat Now I walk alone down rusted streets Your laugh still echoes in the fall But your number don’t ring at all Memories burn like midnight oil Love don’t bloom in barren soil I stitched your name in all my plans Now I rip the seams with shaky hands [Chorus] Cold river, run wild and free Wash away what’s left of me Not long ago we were 23 Now I’m stuck between who we used to be Leaving you — is that a must? Or just the wreckage of lost trust? I tried to hold on, but I knew I must Let go before the steel turns to rust [Bridge] Maybe in another life, we’d stay Or maybe we were always meant to fade The stars we danced beneath don’t shine the same But I’ll never curse your name [Outro] Cold river, take what’s true And leave me what’s left of you
