I saw you today

Verse 1

I saw you today in a place we’d both been before

The kind of small-town road where memories still linger more

I don’t know if you saw me standing there across the way

But time stopped for a heartbeat when I saw your face today

You asked me not to reach for you, to let the silence stay

To act like what we had was gone and faded all away

So I walked right past without a word, though Lord, it broke my heart

Pretending we were strangers when we used to know every part

Chorus

I saw you today, and it felt so wrong

Like the best part of my life had turned into a song

You were my safe place, my best friend, my home

Now we’re two people passing by, both walking on alone

I wanted to say hello, ask how you’ve been

Tell you I’d do it all again if I could start again

But all I did was keep walking, with tears I couldn’t hide

I saw you today… and left a thousand words inside

Verse 2

There was a time your hand fit mine like it was always meant to be

And every dream I dreamed somehow had you right there with me

Nothing could’ve prepared me for standing face to face

With someone who once meant everything and acting like a trace

I don’t carry anger now, and I don’t carry blame

Just memories of the fire and the ashes of the flame

Some stories aren’t forever, some hearts aren’t meant to stay

But that doesn’t mean I wish a single page away

Chorus

I saw you today, and it felt so wrong

Like the best part of my life had turned into a song

You were my safe place, my best friend, my home

Now we’re two people passing by, both walking on alone

I wanted to say hello, ask how you’ve been

Tell you I’d do it all again if I could start again

But all I did was keep walking, with tears I couldn’t hide

I saw you today… and left a thousand words inside

Bridge

Maybe you were meant to change me, not stay till the end

Maybe that’s the hardest truth about losing your best friend

But I’ll never regret the magic that we knew

Even if forever wasn’t something meant for me and you

Final Chorus

I saw you today, but I said nothing at all

Just listened to the echoes of a love I couldn’t call

And somewhere in my heart, where your memory still remains

I whispered, “I’m sorry for the hurt, and I forgive the pain”

Thank you for the memories, for every smile we knew

I hope this life is kind to me, and even kinder still to you

I saw you today, and though you never heard me say…

I still wish you happiness… after all these years away

Outro

I saw you today…

And I kept walking.
