I kept the words I never said
Like faded pictures by the bed
The nights were long the room was cold
I learned to carry what I couldn't hold
I watched the seasons change their names
But every road still felt the same
A quiet heart a restless mind
Searching for a place I left behind
Maybe I was holding on
To a shadow that was already gone
Maybe the truth was underneath
The things we couldn't make us believe
If the lights go out tomorrow
And the sky forgets our names
I'll remember every moment
That made the hurt worth the pain
You were the fire in the distance
When I couldn't find my way
Even when the world was falling
You were the last light I could chase
I found a letter in the rain
With pieces of a younger yesterday
Some memories don't disappear
They just become a different kind of fear
I don't need to rewrite the past
Or make the broken pieces last
I only need to understand
Some hearts are meant to touch not stay in hand
And if I lose the things I know
I'll still have somewhere left to go
A little voice a little flame
A reason to begin again
If the lights go out tomorrow
And the sky forgets our names
I'll remember every moment
That taught my heart to stay awake
You were the fire in the distance
When I couldn't find my way
Even when the world was falling
You were the last light I could chase
