[Verse 1] Your hoodie hangs beside the door Like you might reach for it tonight I still know the shape of your silence And the way you held me when I cried We had our nights of slammed doors And mornings full of regret But somewhere underneath the damage There was love we couldn't forget I see your name across my screen Then watch the moment disappear The whole house feels like an echo Every time I wish you were here [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself that time will heal That I should finally let this go But when the midnight gets too quiet You're the only place my heart still knows [Chorus] If you called and said you missed me I'd still answer through the tears If you told me that you loved me I'd forget the lonely years I'm still holding on to something Even though I know I shouldn't We were broken, we were human But a part of me still couldn't If your heart is somewhere near mine Don't let silence be the end I'd rather hear the truth from you Than wonder where we stand [Verse 2] I remember driving past the fair Your fingers tangled into mine You laughed beneath the dashboard glow And made forever sound just fine Then colder days came through the cracks And every word became a blade We learned how fast two hearts can hurt When neither one knows what to say Still, I remember all the good The kitchen dancing, rainy streets The little ways you knew my fears Before I ever had to speak [Pre-Chorus] You would disappear when you were hurting I'd pretend that I was strong We both carried things unspoken Till the weight became too much [Chorus] If you called and said you missed me I'd still answer through the tears If you told me that you loved me I'd forget the lonely years I'm still holding on to something Even though I know I shouldn't We were broken, we were human But a part of me still couldn't If your heart is somewhere near mine Don't let silence be the end I'd rather hear the truth from you Than wonder where we stand [Bridge] I left one message in the darkness Told you everything I hide That I still miss the sound of laughing With your hand wrapped around mine Maybe pride has built a wall Maybe fear keeps you away But if there's still a spark between us I don't want it buried by yesterday We aren't who we were before And maybe that's not such a crime I learned where I was hurting you You learned what you kept inside We could never make it perfect But we could make it honest now Sometimes love isn't about returning It's about choosing how [banjo solo ] [Final Chorus] If you called and said you loved me I'd still know what I would say I'd tell you that I never stopped Even when I walked away All the scars and all the memories Are still written into me But if we ever find each other Let it be because we're free We built something out of pieces Out of weakness, hope, and doubt And somehow through the hardest seasons We kept finding our way out I don't need a perfect promise I just need the truth from you Because after everything we've been through Part of me still chooses you [Outro] The porch light's on a little longer Though I won't wait forever Your hoodie still hangs by the doorway But I'm learning to breathe without you And if your message finds me someday I'll read it with an open heart Not because I'm still the same girl But because we both survived the dark Maybe love can change its shape Maybe home can change its name But somewhere underneath it all I'll remember why you came still here still healing still standing maybe still love
