Late night, phone glow, memories bleed September nights still follow me First home, locked doors, our own escape Freedom felt real when I saw your face Hands were shaking, heart on fire Couldn’t breathe, could barely try “Will you marry me?” I almost broke Face went red, my whole world froze You were light in every frame Your brightness never faded at all If I’m honest, every time I look back Your eyes are the truth I lack I never said enough Never showed the depth I carried all the love But I buried it in my chest It’s your eyes They see through me It’s your smile That still moves me First thing when I wake Last thing when I fall Twelve years deep You know me all When something’s wrong I feel it inside I’ve lived my life In September eyes I think of you more than I speak Hold my words ‘cause I don’t want to bleed Lose focus, lose time, lose my head Just waiting to see you again They thought I didn’t care back then Truth is, fear had me pinned When your body went through the storm I stayed strong so you wouldn’t fall Airport lights, I froze in place Scared to hurt you with my embrace Still you smiled after all that pain How were you stronger than me that day? It’s your eyes They see through me It’s your smile That still moves me First thing when I wake Last thing when I fall Twelve years deep You know me all When something’s wrong I feel it inside I’ve lived my life In September eyes We built a life, we carried weight Kids, chaos, late nights, fate Somewhere in the noise, I let us fade You asked for help, I looked away That’s on me, I won’t rewrite I failed you in real time If I’d seen this five years ago I would’ve burned my pride, let it go I would’ve loved you louder then Not waited till the breaking end It’s your eyes They see through me It’s your smile That still moves me First thing when I wake Last thing when I fall Twelve years deep You know me all When something’s wrong I feel it inside I’ve lived my life In September eyes
