Before We Let Go

(Opening: soft piano, distant strings, slow cinematic rise)

(A single piano motif, like a memory forming)

⸻

Morning light on unfamiliar walls

We’re still learning how to fall

Your laugh fills up the empty space

Like this moment might be safe

I don’t know what tomorrow is

But right now your hand fits mine

Every love begins with faith

Before it learns the cost of time

⸻

We don’t see the cracks just yet

We call them stars, we call them bets

⸻

This is us before the leaving

Before the words we won’t defend

When love is easy, hearts are open

And forever feels like then

Hold this close, don’t rush the end

This is us before we let go

⸻

I’ve been here before, I know the signs

How hope can blur the warning lines

Still I step into the flame

Just to feel something again

You look at me like I’m brand new

Like I don’t carry my past inside

If love is borrowed, let it be

The kind you don’t regret tonight

⸻

Even scars begin as skin

Every story starts with “when”

⸻

This is us before the silence

Before the doubt, before the fear

When touch is pure and words are fearless

And goodbye is nowhere near

Let me stay right here a while

This is us before we let go

⸻

T:

Promise me we’ll try to stay

Even when it’s hard to say

G:

Promise me if love should change

We won’t disappear in pain

Together:

If this ends, let it be kind

Let it leave us still aligned

Let us say we truly tried

Before we ever say goodbye

(Strings swell — first real cinematic lift)

⸻

This is us before the breaking

Before the nights we lose our way

When love is louder than our doubts

And all we see is yesterday

If this is all we’re meant to know

Let it be beautiful and whole

This is us

Before we let go

⸻

(Piano returns, soft strings)

G (soft):

Some loves are meant to teach us how

T (soft):

To hold… before we learn to let go

(Music fades into first scene)
