There’s a silence in a crowded room
Right before two strangers speak
A thousand roads behind our eyes
And a future we can’t see
You reach out with a trembling hand
Like stepping onto unknown ground
A single word can change a life
When it finally leaves your mouth
Every story starts somewhere
On a fragile line of chance
The two hardest things in life to do
Are the moments that define you
When a stranger turns to someone you know
With a simple “hello”
And the day the road runs out of time
When you hold on but still let go
Yeah the bravest hearts will always know
How heavy love can grow
Between the first hello
And the last goodbye
We built a world in borrowed days
In laughter, tears, and late night talks
Through broken dreams and healing scars
And miles of winding walks
Every memory like falling leaves
Drifting softly through the years
You never think the final page
Will arrive so quietly here
Every story finds its end
No matter how we try
The two hardest things in life to do
Are the moments that define you
When a stranger turns to someone you know
With a simple “hello”
And the day the road runs out of time
When you hold on but still let go
Yeah the bravest hearts will always know
How heavy love can grow
Between the first hello
And the last goodbye
If I could turn the hands of time
I’d stay a little longer there
Right where beginnings softly bloom
Before the weight of farewell air
But every hello carries truth
We understand too late
Every door we open wide
One day we have to close again
The two hardest things in life to do
Are the moments love walks through
When a stranger becomes your home
With a quiet “hello”
And the day you stand in fading light
Whispering “I must go”
Yeah the deepest love we’ll ever know
Is the pain we can’t outgrow
Between the first hello
And the last goodbye
So if we meet along the way
And time is kind and slow
I’ll thank the world that gave us both
The courage to say hello.
