[Verse 1] The photographs are in a box somewhere I haven't looked, I haven't thrown them out Some things don't need a decision They just find their shelf and stay [Pre-Chorus] Not broken, not healed Somewhere in between, like an old scar You press it sometimes just to check It doesn't sting the way it used to [Chorus] I carry it lightly now The way you carry an old song You don't remember all the words But your mouth still knows the melody [Verse 2] There's a café we never went back to Not because of anything just time I walked past it last Tuesday Ordered the same thing we always did [Pre-Chorus] Not broken, not healed Somewhere in between, like an old scar You press it sometimes just to check It doesn't sting the way it used to [Chorus] I carry it lightly now The way you carry an old song You don't remember all the words But your mouth still knows the melody [Post-Chorus] [Bridge] I used to think forgetting was the goal Now I think it was never the point Maybe you just make more room around it Until it fits inside your life like light [Chorus] I carry it lightly now...⚡ The way you carry an old song You don't remember all the words But your mouth still knows the melody [Outro] The box is in the closet That's enough That's always been enough
