I heard your song

Verse 1

I heard your song late last December
Someone played it after midnight
Your voice was softer than I remember
But the words felt just like our life

You said you broke us for my future
Said you thought you had to leave
But you never asked the question
Of what I might believe

Pre-Chorus

You carried storms I never saw
And shut the door before I could knock

Chorus

I would have stayed through your dark skies
Through every fear you tried to hide
Love was never something fragile
We had to run from to survive

You thought letting go would save me
But love was never something you had to prove
You didn’t have to lose me
To show me that you loved me too

Verse 2

I remember how you held me
Like the world might fall apart
Like you thought you had to guard me
From the shadows in your heart

But love was never meant for heroes
Fighting battles all alone
I just needed you beside me
Not protecting me from your own

Chorus

I would have stayed through your dark skies
Through every fear you tried to hide
Love was never something fragile
We had to run from to survive

You thought letting go would save me
But love was never something you had to prove
You didn’t have to lose me
To show me that you loved me too

Bridge

And maybe life has moved us onward
Different roads and different days
But the love we had was real enough
To echo through the years this way

So if you’re somewhere still believing
You destroyed what we once knew
Just remember I was loving
Every broken part of you

Final Chorus ~>  (gentle / reflective)

I might not walk beside you now
But the love we had was true
And somewhere in the quiet songs
There’s still a piece of me and you

So don’t carry all the blame, love
Some things time just couldn’t undo
You didn’t have to lose me
To show me that you loved me too

Female, piano, softer, reflective
