[Verse 1] There’s a silence in the doorway, where your shadow used to fall. I keep tracing empty outlines on the cracks along the wall. Every word we left unspoken still hangs heavy in the air, like a ghost of something broken, waiting for repair. [Chorus] I’m not forgetting — I’m forgiving, like the tide against the stone. It takes a lifetime just for living, and another to let go. If I could name the things I’m losing, I would call your name again — not for love, not for reason, but for forgiving what has been. [Verse 2] The rain keeps falling sideways, turning dust to quiet glass. Every story that we carried fades and folds into the past. I have learned that being honest doesn’t always make you free — but it’s the only kind of mercy that ever meant a thing to me. [Chorus] I’m not forgetting — I’m forgiving, like the tide against the stone. It takes a lifetime just for living, and another to let go. If I could name the things I’m losing, I would call your name again — not for love, not for reason, but for forgiving what has been. [Bridge] No thunder in the distance, no promise left to keep. Just the quiet shape of healing where the hurt once used to speak. And if I meet you in the silence, I’ll know I’ve reached the end — not as strangers, not as lovers, but as something whole again. [Final Chorus / Outro] I’m not forgetting — I’m forgiving, like the tide that wears the stone. Every scar is just the living of a heart that’s coming home. If I could name the things I’m losing, I would whisper them within — not for love, not for reason, but for forgiving what has been.
