[Verse 1] You read the room before I spoke I learned to stay when words went thin We made a language out of looks And let each other wander in [Pre-Chorus] Now every road is asking us To choose a different way I need you to remember this Before we turn away [Chorus] This mattered, you mattered More than distance can undo If our hands let go tomorrow What we changed will still be true Don’t mistake the end for nothing Don’t let the thread disappear I will carry what you gave me Even when you’re no longer here [Verse 2] You made me braver in small rooms I helped you name what you could bear No grand promise could hold us still But we were honest while we were there [Half-Time Bridge] If you look back, see me clearly Not a failure, not a debt Just two lives that crossed with purpose And a truth we won’t regret [Final Chorus] This mattered, you mattered More than distance can undo If our hands let go tomorrow What we changed will still be true Don’t mistake the end for nothing Keep the good within your view I will carry what you gave me And I hope you carry me too [Outro] We were real We were real
