Verse 1 At the bench by the station, the rain starts to fall I open the red umbrella you once gave me Your smile, long forgotten, begins to blur On the wet asphalt, shadows softly sway Pre-Chorus “See you again,” you said so gently Still echoing deep inside my ears Chorus Red umbrella, still carries your scent On this lonely walk home, my chest aches We once shared this shelter from the rain Now only the sound of raindrops stays with me Verse 2 Across the crosswalk, I see a familiar back My feet freeze without a word You’re laughing with someone new And I whisper, “I hope you’re happy” Pre-Chorus The wind brushes my damp cheeks I can’t tell if it’s tears or rain Chorus Red umbrella—I can’t find the strength to close it Memories keep pooling inside You once let me into your shelter Now even the sky feels far away Verse 3 Outside the corner store, I forget my umbrella Someone picks it up—the red one you gave me If it shields another from the rain Maybe that’s your kindness living on Bridge I couldn’t throw it away, kept it hidden That red umbrella was my weakness But someday, when this rain finally stops I think I’ll be able to walk again Final Chorus Red umbrella—I gently let it go Even soaked, I’ll face forward Under a sky where you no longer stand I’ll learn to smile again, I know I will
