Verse 1 We were headlights in an empty town Radio static, windows down Screaming words to songs the world forgot Like they were ours and no one else’s You looked at me like you knew the cracks Like you’d traced every fracture back Said, “You don’t have to pretend with me.” God… I didn’t Pre-Chorus We were healing in the same old scar Different wounds but they fit like art You were the echo I didn’t know I’d lost Chorus So how do I say goodbye To the girl who felt like home in a stranger’s eyes? You saw the mess, the ache, the fight And didn’t try to make me right We were two halves of a rearview sky Same broken chords, same lullabies The road split off, I don’t know why But I’m braver now because you were in my life And I’ll carry that till the end… Even if it’s goodbye Verse 2 We talked about tomorrow like it was ours Like we’d outrun all the silent scars But life’s got hands that rearrange Maps you swore would never change Now the passenger seat’s too still Every silence hits too real But I swear I hear you when I breathe Like you’re still singing next to me Pre-Chorus Maybe some souls just intersect To remind the other they’re not wrecked You weren’t forever… But you were everything for a while Chorus So how do I say goodbye To the girl who held my truth in her hands that night? You knew my ghosts by name and face And didn’t run when they took up space We were lightning in borrowed time Two heartbeats in perfect rhyme The road split off, but that’s alright I’m stronger now because you were in my life And I’ll carry that till the end… Even if it’s goodbye... Bridge (Holding Space) We listened to each other’s lives Like no one else had time to Every story, every scar Laid out between us You let me unravel slow I let you say what hurt No fixing, no saving Just staying when it burned We held a place For who we were becoming And who we’d been We didn’t solve it We just stayed And that was everything Extended Final Chorus (Soft → Build → Resolve) So how do I say goodbye To the girl who held my truth in her hands that night? You knew my ghosts by name and face And didn’t run when they took up space We were lightning in borrowed time Two heartbeats in perfect rhyme The road split off, but that’s alright I’m stronger now because you were in my life And I’ll carry that till the end….... So how do I say goodbye??? To the girl who felt like home in a stranger’s eyes? You saw the mess, the ache, the fight And didn’t try to make me right We were two halves of a rearview sky Same broken chords, same lullabies The road split off, I don’t know why But I’m braver now because you were in my life..... And I’ll carry that till the end… Even if it’s goodbye Goodbye…
