Verse 1: I’ve made peace with the nights, And the way they hold me tight. I’ve stopped asking the sky, If you still dream of me sometimes. The streets remember our names, The rain still feels the same. And in every quiet room, I feel traces of you. Chorus: And I tell myself it’s over, But my heart won’t let it lie. Carrying the ashes Of a fire that won’t die. I smile like I’m a stranger To the ache you left behind, But love, it lingers In the corners of my mind. Verse 2: I’ve grown old with your ghost, Learned to sit with what hurts the most. I write words I’ll never send, To a lover, to a friend. And though the years roll by, Some songs still make me cry. I hum their tender tune, And taste the memory of you. Chorus: And I tell myself it’s over, But my heart won’t let it lie. Carrying the ashes Of a fire that won’t die. I smile like I’m a stranger To the ache you left behind, But love, it lingers In the corners of my mind. Bridge: No one truly disappears, We just learn to live with years. Between the now and what we knew, I’m half of me, and half of you. Final Chorus: And I tell myself it’s over, But my heart won’t let it lie. Carrying the ashes Of a fire that won’t die. I smile like I’m a stranger To the ache you left behind, But love, it lingers In the corners of my mind. Outro: I’m half of me, and half of you… In the corners of my mind.
