Verse 1
I woke up heavy with the weight of the hours,
Coffee gone cold in a house full of hours.
Every mistake still whispering loud,
Like it’s got a name it’s trying to shout.
I chased the light like it owed me more,
Like I could hold it behind a closed door.
But time don’t wait for the hands I raise,
It slips like sand through the longest days.
Pre-Chorus
And I thought letting go meant losing it all,
But even the strong learn how to fall…
Chorus
It’s not about the colors,” I begin, speaking to the horizon.
“It’s about the ending. The gentle, inevitable closing of a day.
No matter how good or bad it was, the sun just… lets go.
It trusts the dark to come, and trusts itself to rise again.”
Verse 2
I’ve seen joy turn quiet, pain turn still,
Watched broken things learn how to heal.
Not in a moment, not all at once,
But in the slow fade of what we’ve done.
There’s something honest in the fading light,
No need to argue, no need to fight.
Even the sky don’t cling to its flame,
It just releases without a name.
Pre-Chorus
Maybe peace ain’t found in holding tight,
Maybe it’s learned in the end of the light…
Chorus
It’s not about the colors,” I begin, speaking to the horizon.
“It’s about the ending. The gentle, inevitable closing of a day.
No matter how good or bad it was, the sun just… lets go.
It trusts the dark to come, and trusts itself to rise again.”
Bridge
So I’ll stop trying to outrun the night,
Stop bargaining with fading light.
If the sky can fall without breaking apart,
Maybe I can trust my own heart.
Let the silence cover what I can’t say,
Let tomorrow come its own way.
There’s grace in the ending I used to fear,
A promise that dawn is always near.
Final Chorus
It’s not about the colors,” I begin, speaking to the horizon.
“It’s about the ending. The gentle, inevitable closing of a day.
No matter how good or bad it was, the sun just… lets go.
It trusts the dark to come, and trusts itself to rise again.”
Outro
So I’ll learn from the fading sky,
How to rest, how to say goodbye…
And trust that even in the night I don’t understand,
The morning is already in its hands.
Outro (Repeat Ending)
So I’ll learn from the fading sky,
How to rest, how to say goodbye…
And I won’t fight what I can’t control,
I’ll let the quiet take my soul.
So I’ll learn from the fading sky,
How to rest, how to say goodbye…
And trust that even in the night I don’t understand,
The morning is already in its hands.
So I’ll learn from the fading sky,
How to rest, how to say goodbye…
