Lyrics
The days keep folding into dust
The clock hands shake but never slow down
All the promises grew heavier
The longer I let them go
You tell me pain learns how to wait
That healing's just a borrowed grace
I smiled at that, but in the dark
It's hard to keep a face
I've been walking through the quiet
Where the echoes hold their ground
Every memory's a monument
That time keeps tearing down
If I could speak to all I've lost
I'd ask what staying means
When every road I try to cross
Ends where I have been
I built a home from what was left
But walls don't make it whole
Each room still hums with all the names
That leaving couldn't hold
The future feels like melted glass
Too sharp to lift again
I trace the cracks to make them last
Just to remember when
I've been walking through the quiet
Where the echoes hold their ground
Every memory's a monument
That time keeps tearing down
If I could speak to all I've lost
I'd ask what healing means
When every road I try to cross
Ends where I have been
Maybe life's just learning how
To grieve what never stays
To love enough to let it go
In a thousand tender ways
I've been walking through the quiet
Tracing ghosts along the floor
Even sorrow has it's shelter
I don't lock that door anymore
If the weight begins to lift
I won't call it coming through
Some things heal by losing shape
Until they look like you
