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
