Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We were kids in a cracked-up house

Swapping scars like secrets

You held all my broken parts

I held all your bad habits

Called it love ‘cause it felt like home

Even when my hands were shaking

I kept my voice light

My jokes loud

While something in me was fading

[Chorus]

This was friendship-rooted love

Built on ash

On ambulance sirens

I was carrying your storms

While my own stayed silent

Learned to armor up my heart

Till I couldn’t feel above the din

Now I’m walking through the quiet

Finding my way back to gentle again

[Verse 2]

You were there when my granddad slipped

Phone glow on the hospital sheet

You said

“Lean on me

I got you”

Then leaned further into me

Every tear I shed

I cleaned

Before it hit the floor

Became the funny

Steady one

Who wasn’t steady anymore

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I miss the girl who cried at movies

Who kept a diary by the bed

She left her softness in your doorway

So I could live inside your head

Now it’s tea for one at sunrise

Silence humming in my chest

Learning how to hold my hand

Letting my own grief rest

[Chorus]
