Verse 1 You met me in a season I could barely hold my sanity Wore my rage like a shelter, called avoidance “playing safe” You kept reaching through the static, I kept drifting with the traffic You were asking for a window to open, I was building walls inside and hide (and hide) Looking back, I see the distance wasn’t measured down the road It was every little moment that I left for you alone Love was there to teach me gently, I was so naive ,too young to see Some hearts open like a sunrise, mine learned slowly, quietly ,goodbye Pre-Chorus If grace had hands, it looked like yours Holding on when I gave less than I could afford You loved a version still unfinished And somehow saw tomorrow in it I’m not even worth the half of it Chorus So if I ever love somebody right It’ll carry little pieces of your light Not your shadow, not your body Just the kindness that remained Every lesson wrapped in every goodbye Every tear became a softer pair of eyes I hate that I had to learn this way Sing me a beautiful lullaby But thank you… anyway goodbye Verse 2 I confused being protected with pretending not to care Thought that staying hard meant healing, left you speaking to the air (echo chamber) You deserved a better language than the one I knew back then Now I hear the words I missed inside my head again Funny how the quiet day…louder years away Every almost, every maybe finds a different place to stay I don’t wear my guilt like armor, I don’t chase what couldn’t last I just carry every blessing hidden in our past Pre-Chorus If grace had hands, it looked like yours Holding on when I gave less than I could afford You loved a version still unfinished And somehow saw tomorrow in it I’m not even worth the half of it Chorus So if I ever love somebody right It’ll carry little pieces of your light Not your shadow, not your body Just the kindness that remained Every lesson wrapped in every goodbye Every tear became a softer pair of eyes I hate that I had to learn this way Sing me a beautiful lullaby But thank you… anyway goodbye Bridge I won’t ask the sky to circle us again Some stories bloom, then teach us how it end If someone’s heart feels safer in my hands someday You’ll be the reason, in the smallest, sweetest And thankful way I love you babe Final Chorus So if I ever love somebody right It’ll carry little pieces of your light Not your shadow, not your body Just the kindness that remained Every lesson wrapped in every goodbye Every tear became a softer pair of eyes I hate that I had to learn this way Sing me a beautiful lullaby But thank you… anyway goodbye (**Last chorus must have different music arrangements!!) So if I ever love somebody right It’ll carry little pieces of your light Not your shadow, not your body Just the kindness that remained Every lesson wrapped in every goodbye Every tear became a softer pair of eyes I hate that I had to learn this way Sing me a beautiful lullaby But thank you… anyway goodbye
