(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, sun in my eyes, no shadow on the wall
Used to see your ghost disguise, answering memory's call
Flipping through old photo books, saw your face, a faded line
No more heavy, longing looks, I'm finally feeling fine
Remember how I'd replay, every laugh and every fight?
Wishing I could just erase, those dark parts of the night
But something shifted, a quiet hum, a gentle, steady beat
Left the old me feeling numb, now my life feels bittersweet.
(Pre-Chorus)
The mixtapes you made collect dust, I don't care
No need to hear them, I'm breathing my own air
That hoodie you borrowed, I finally gave away
Planting new seeds, for a brand new day.
(Chorus)
No more feeling nostalgic, the static is gone, it's clear
The past is just a footnote, no longer ruling every fear
I've ripped out that old page, found my own rhythm, a brand new tune
Stepped off of that lonely stage, under a hopeful moon
Yeah, I'm building a new story, brick by brick, solid and true
Waving goodbye to the old glory, making space for something new.
(Verse 2)
October winds still blow so cold, but I've got my own light inside
No longer stories being told, where old emotions used to hide
I used to trace the empty space, where your hand once held onto mine
Now there's a smile upon my face, a feeling truly divine
The thought of you, it comes and goes, a distant echo, soft and low
But it's not a wound that always shows, just a ripple from long ago
Learned to breathe, found my own pace, picked up and started to advance
Realized that life's a better race, when you embrace your second chance.
(Pre-Chorus)
The playlists are new, the songs are all mine
Building a future, where I truly shine
The lessons were hard, the tears were so real
But healing's a journey, and this is how I feel.
(Chorus)
No more feeling nostalgic, the static is gone, it's clear
The past is just a footnote, no longer ruling every fear
I've ripped out that old page, found my own rhythm, a brand new tune
Stepped off of that lonely stage, under a hopeful moon
Yeah, I'm building a new story, brick by brick, solid and true
Waving goodbye to the old glory, making space for something new.
(Bridge)
It took some time, a winding path, to shake off all the doubt
But every heavy aftermath, I learned to live without
The phantom touch, the whispered name, they slowly fade to grey
Now I'm playing a different game, brighter with each passing day.
(Outro)
Feeling free, yeah, finally free
The future's calling out to me
No regrets, just clear skies ahead
Leaving the nostalgic thoughts unsaid.
