Lyric

We held a little light

For as long as we could

There was a time when the room felt warm

Even with rain moving over the town

You had your hand on the edge of my sleeve

Like you were trying to keep both of us here

We never said it was easy to stay

We only learned how to hide what we knew

Somewhere between all the almosts we made

The morning came quietly into view

I don’t blame the silence

I don’t blame the night

Some things are beautiful

Because they cannot survive

This is the light we couldn’t keep

A little sun we lost in our hands

I still remember how it felt to believe

We could be more than the place where we stand

This is the light we couldn’t keep

Not a mistake, not a wasted dream

If I close my eyes, I can almost see

The way it lived between you and me

I passed the station we used to know

The sign was flickering blue in the rain

People were moving like nothing had changed

But I was still carrying your name

Maybe the heart is a room we leave

With one small window facing the past

Maybe the love that we failed to save

Was still a love that was meant to last

I don’t need an answer

I don’t need a reason

Some endings arrive softly

Like a change in the season

This is the light we couldn’t keep

A little sun we lost in our hands

I still remember how it felt to believe

We could be more than the place where we stand

This is the light we couldn’t keep

Not a mistake, not a wasted dream

If I close my eyes, I can almost see

The way it lived between you and me

If you ever think of us

In some quiet afternoon

Don’t turn it into sadness

Don’t call it leaving too soon

Let it be a window

Let it be a street

Let it be the kind of light

We were only meant to meet

This is the light we couldn’t keep

A little sun we lost in our hands

But I still remember how it taught me to breathe

How to let go and still understand

This is the light we couldn’t keep

Not a mistake, not a wasted dream

Some things disappear, but they never leave

They stay as light between you and me

We held a little light

For as long as we could
