[Chorus – restrained, emotionally contained] You were here, then a memory now you’re someone I don’t know time keeps shifting your outline and I’m learning to let go and I’m learning to let go [Intro – slow guitar delay, low pulse] (Instrumental: guitar, single phrase "I'm learning to let go" repeating, long decay) [Verse 1 – grounded, observational] Your voice was once familiar now it’s something I recall I hold it like a keepsake that doesn’t fit at all [Pre‑Chorus – clipped phrasing] Every second redraws you every hour moves you on [Chorus: slightly fuller] You were here, then a memory now you’re someone I don’t know time keeps shifting your outline and I’m learning to let go [Verse 2 – more forward motion, still restrained] I try to meet you where you are but you’re already ahead I talk to who you used to be inside my head [Bridge – low, near‑spoken, ticking percussion] I can’t stop the shift I can only stay awake [Final Chorus – softer, controlled] You were here, then a memory now you’re someone I don’t know time keeps shifting your outline and I’m learning to let go [Final Chorus – softer, controlled] You were here, then a memory now you’re someone I don’t know time keeps shifting your outline and I’m learning to let go [Outro – guitar repeats, repeated phrase of "I'm learning to let go" ] You were here, then a memory and I’m learning to let go I’m learning to let go...
