Shadows We Left Behind

I found your sweater in a box I meant to hide

Photographs of summer tangled deep inside

We used to laugh, chase the stars in midnight rain

Now all these memories echo with a trace of pain

Every streetlight flickers with your smile

I walk alone, replaying us for a while

So this song is for you, my bittersweet past

For the promises written that just couldn't last

We loved in a world that kept turning the page

I'm writing you out, though my heart wants to stay

I tried new stories but your name won’t disappear

Your favorite mixtapes still spinning in my ear

Maybe we were never meant to hold on so tight

But letting go doesn't mean the memories weren’t right

Every sunlit morning aches with your name

I whisper goodbye but it’s never the same

So this song is for you, my bittersweet past

For the promises written that just couldn't last

We loved in a world that kept turning the page

I'm writing you out, though my heart wants to stay

If you ever hear these chords out in the night

Know that I wish you every new sunrise

We tried and we loved as far as we could go

But now I just hope you find your way home

So this song is for you, my bittersweet past

For the promises written that just couldn't last

We loved in a world that kept turning the page

I'm writing you out, though my heart wants to stayFarewell my muse, goodbye to old rhymes

Shadows we left behind, now it's time
