[Intro – Piano & Clean Guitar] [Verse 1 – Vocal B] I found your letter in a box beneath the stairs Faded ink and folded corners, still pretending you were there Every sentence felt like winter, every word was hard to read Like a version of forever that we buried underneath [Verse 2 – Vocal A] I kept running from the silence I kept laughing through the pain Put my memories in the fire Just to watch them live again There were nights I blamed the city There were days I blamed myself But the truth was always sitting On that broken empty shelf [Pre-Chorus – Vocal A & B] And I don’t know where we lost it I don’t know who we became But I still hear all the echoes Every time they say your name [Chorus – Vocal C] These are letters from the fallout Words we never learned to say All the pieces that we left out Still come back to me today If we loved and if we lost it If the light burned into grey These are letters from the fallout And I still read them anyway [Verse 3 – Vocal B] There’s a photograph beside me Where we almost looked alright Two young hearts against the thunder Trying hard to win the fight [Verse 4 – Vocal A] Now the walls don’t feel so angry Now the room can let me breathe Maybe some things aren’t for saving Maybe some are meant to leave [Bridge – Vocal C, soft then rising] I’m not asking for an answer I’m not reaching for the past I just needed one more moment With the things that couldn’t last And if healing feels like breaking Then I’ll let the pieces fall I was never good at losing But I’m learning after all [Final Chorus – All, Vocal C lead] These are letters from the fallout Words we never learned to say All the pieces that we left out Still come back to me today If we loved and if we lost it If the light burned into grey These are letters from the fallout And I still read them anyway [Outro – Vocal B & A soft harmony] I still read them anyway Not to bring you back again Just to understand the pain And finally let it end
