Verse 1 Used to know every number by heart Now they’re buried somewhere in the dark Names on a screen that scroll right by Birthdays come and go without a why We swore to not be strangers back then Thought we’d stay young forever friends Funny how silence doesn’t make a sound ‘Til years later you’re no where to be found Pre-Chorus No slammed doors, no final goodbyes Just miles that stretched one day at a time Chorus When the veil gets lifted You see it all so clear Some people leave in moments Some disappear by years No villains in the story No one keeping score Just different roads unfolding To different open doors Maybe love just changes Maybe seasons have their say When the veil gets lifted You find out who stayed… …and who slowly slipped away Verse 2 Pictures frozen in another life Laughing underneath summer skies Back when every weekend we had plans Now we’re strangers in different lands Some found families, some found dreams Some became and met their needs Maybe I was passing through A faded chapter in a life I once knew Pre-Chorus I don’t think anybody meant to fade Life has a quiet way of rearranging names Chorus When the veil gets lifted You see it all so clear Some people leave in moments Some disappear by years No villains in the story No one keeping score Just different roads unfolding To different open doors Maybe love just changes Maybe time rewrites the page When the veil gets lifted Nothing stays the same Bridge Maybe I drifted from someone too Not knowing I was passing through Living on in a photograph In someone else’s past We all become a memory In somebody else’s story Final Chorus When the veil gets lifted The answers finally land You stop chasing reflections Trying to understand Some hearts are here forever Some are passing through Not every soul you meet Was meant to stay with you And there’s a kind of peace in that Even if it stings When the veil gets lifted You can love what used to be… Without needing it to be anything. ——————— Written and produced by @vinnyleaf Vinnyleaf Music 2026
