[Intro: Instrumental, no voices] [Verse 1] . I still hear you in the silence In the way the quiet stays There are words I never said to you That echo through my days There’s a space where you once stood That time can’t rearrange And I’ve learned to sit with what it was ’Cause the past can’t be undone [Pre-Chorus] I buried all the pain inside Thought it faded over time Then I realized I was wrong When emotions came on strong [Chorus] But I see you now through different eyes Beyond the anger, beyond the pain You were carrying your own weight Long before I was ever born And I still love you, that never changed Even through the distance, through the pain I forgave you before you were gone But I still had to heal what lingered on [Verse 2] You were just a boy once too Worthy of a grace you never knew You deserved a love unconditional That no one ever gave to you So you tried to build a family With the only way you’d been shown You were just passing down the fear ’Cause it was all you’d ever known [Bridge] I can see it clearly now What was never meant for me I’ll hold onto the love we had And finally let the rest be free [Outro] I hope you found the peace you needed Somewhere past the pain you knew I found mine in letting go And still… loving you
