[Verse 1] You grew wild, I stood still We found peace beyond the hill Now the wind calls me away Though I swore I’d always stay [Pre-Chorus] It’s not wrong, it just feels off Love like this still pays the cost We both know it’s not goodbye But it still makes my chest run dry [Chorus] It’s not forever, but it cuts like hell Like closing a book we were reading so well I’ll miss the light in your quiet grace The long slow fade of your sunlit face We’re not done, we’re just apart With restless roots and heavy hearts Goodbye feels like forever when you're alone [Verse 2] Frost creeps in, you lose your green But I still feel you in between Every step and every sound Like you're still blooming underground [Pre-Chorus] If I stayed, I’d lose the spark Leaving hurts, but keeps us sharp Hold my place, I’ll find my way Back to you some lighter day [Chorus] It’s not forever, but it cuts like hell Like closing a book we were reading so well I’ll miss the light in your quiet grace The long slow fade of your sunlit face We’re not done, we’re just apart With restless roots and heavy hearts Goodbye feels like forever when you're alone [Bridge – only drums + vocals] So don’t forget how far we’ve grown This break is ours, and ours alone Tend the soil, and I’ll return With hands that ache, and hearts that burn [Chorus – Final] It’s not forever, but it cuts like hell Like closing a book we were reading so well I’ll miss the light in your quiet grace The long slow fade of your sunlit face We’re not done, we’re just apart With restless roots and heavy hearts Goodbye feels like forever when you're alone
