(Soft guitar strum)
Quiet now...
I traced your name in morning light
Before the world could pull me back
Every promise that I made
Feels like sand between my hands
I'm learning how to hold on loose
How to love and let it breathe
All these whirlwinds in my chest
Teaching me what I can't keep
We were whirlwinds, weren't we?
Spinning fast but standing still
I gave you all my growing pains
You held them like they're beautiful
Still learning who I am inside
This quiet ache, this gentle pull
We were whirlwinds, you and me
And maybe that was beautiful
I wear your memory like old clothes
Comfortable but doesn't quite fit
All the versions of myself I've been
They're sitting here in this room with me
I'm softer now than I used to be
The edges worn, the anger gone
Just trying to forgive the girl
Who didn't know she was enough
We were whirlwinds, weren't we?
Spinning fast but standing still
I gave you all my growing pains
You held them like they're beautiful
Still learning who I am inside
This quiet ache, this gentle pull
We were whirlwinds, you and me
And maybe that was beautiful
(Piano softly fades)
Maybe that was beautiful...
Maybe we were always meant to let go
