[Intro] (solo guitar fingerpicking, cello enters softly) [Verse 1] I won't leave you money, won't leave you a name Won't leave you a story that erases all the pain I'll leave you the patience nobody could teach me I'll leave you the roots where the fruit finally reached me [Verse 2] I'll leave you the seasons I learned not to rush The proof that the quiet can outlast the crash I'll leave you a way to survive being wrong I'll leave you the reason I kept holding on [Pre-Chorus] (strings swell gently) Not everything worth having can be held in your hand [Chorus] (strings fuller, vocal opens up) This is what I'll leave in the ground Not a fortune, just a sound Of someone who stayed when it was hard Who planted more than he could guard This is what I'll leave in the ground Something patient, something found You won't see it, but it's there Growing quiet in the air [Bridge] (strip to guitar and vocal alone) I'm not the tree, I'm just the season That got it through the year I'm not the fruit, I'm just the reason It was worth staying here [Final Chorus] (full strings, warm layered harmonies, gentle close) This is what I'll leave in the ground Not a fortune, just a sound This is what I'll leave in the ground Growing quiet, growing sound
