(Verse 1) I've laughed until I couldn't breathe. I've cried when no one knew. I've watched forever change its name More times than I can prove. I've opened doors. I've closed them too. I've learned some people never leave... Though years have passed them by. (Verse 2) I've held a child. I've buried dreams. I've forgiven more than once. I've watched love arrive so quietly... Then leave without a sound. I've lost enough to understand How precious ordinary days become. Some moments never fade away. They simply become us. (Pre-Chorus) Every choice Left something here. Every goodbye Made room for another hello. (Chorus) Don't mistake these quiet eyes. They are not looking backward. They are looking through time. Through every hand I've ever held. Through every life that touched my own. Through every joy... Through every loss... Everything... Still lives here. (Verse 3) I've learned that happiness Rarely announces itself. It lives inside the smallest moments. A familiar voice. A gentle smile. A hand that doesn't let go When life becomes difficult. I've learned that love Changes its shape... But never truly leaves. (Bridge) If you could see What I have seen... You wouldn't count the years. You would see the laughter. You would see the sorrow. You would see the waiting. You would see the healing. You would see... A life. (Final Chorus) Don't mistake these quiet eyes. They are not looking backward. They are looking through time. Through every choice I've ever made. Through every heart that changed my own. Through every season... Every goodbye... Every beginning... Still lives here. (Outro) If you stand here long enough... You won't see my life. You'll begin to see... Your own.
