In the White Light

A song about keeping a promise to someone you will never see again.

A quiet city at night. White breath disappearing into the cold.
Even turning around had become frightening. Only the small light in the chest would not go out.

I had decided to live for someone else. Yet I found myself guarding only myself,
pretending not to notice, pretending not to see and still, the heart could not lie.

In the white light, I call your name. Even if we never meet again, I will keep my promise.
Holding all the regret and the pain, I will turn the days you gave me into light.

A lo-fi ballad for walking a cold street at night.
