[Verse 1]
You pulled up in July, sunburn on your nose
Said you never stay long, “that’s just how it goes”
I laughed it off, but I learned every road
That led to your mood swings, highs and lows
You left your sweater hanging on my chair
Smelled like cheap perfume and summer air
You loved to promise what you couldn’t spare
Then vanish like you were never there
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept your name in my phone like a prayer
Always “maybe”, never “I swear”
Thought I could hold you, thought I could fix you
Till I realized I just missed me more
[Chorus]
Seasons change, I don’t chase you anymore (anymore)
Leaves fall down, but I rise up from the floor (rise up, oh)
You were just a storm in a borrowed flame
I was standing in the rain, calling out your name
Now I’m strong, and I’m singing through the pain
People break, hearts ache, seasons change
[Verse 2]
You hit me up in April, “girl, I miss your laugh”
Typing then deleting, I just let it pass
Used to drop everything, run back fast
Now I walk slower, let the moment lapse
New hair, new city, same me, new rules
I don’t make space for your April Fools
I got my friends, got my late-night drives
Got my dreams that don’t fit your size
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept your ghost in my room like décor
But I’m done sweeping pieces off the floor
Thought we were forever, that was a quick fix
Guess we were just a phase I had to live through
[Chorus]
Seasons change, I don’t chase you anymore (anymore)
Leaves fall down, but I rise up from the floor (I rise)
You were just a storm in a borrowed flame
I was standing in the rain, calling out your name
Now I’m strong, and I’m singing through the pain
People break, hearts ache, seasons change
[Bridge]
[beat drops to minimal synth and vocals]
Cold nights turned into longer days
I found peace in the smallest ways
Your shadow fades when the light gets brave
I’m not the girl that you walked away
(Oh-oh) every tear was a stepping stone
(Oh-oh) now I’m better here on my own
You were a chapter, I’m the whole damn page
Turn the line, feel the vibe, watch me change
[Chorus]
Seasons change, I don’t chase you anymore (anymore)
Leaves fall down, but I rise up from the floor (rise up, yeah)
You were just a storm in a borrowed flame
I was standing in the rain, calling out your name
Now I’m strong, and I’m singing through the pain
People break, hearts ache, seasons change
(Seasons change, seasons change)
Yeah, I bend but I don’t break when
Seasons change
