Lyric

Brushing past each other in the city rain

Wet streetlights reflect our shadows again

Thought the years would wash it all away

Yet I see that familiar face today

The promises we once swore

Now linger only as fragments we can’t endure

Too scared to get close, too scared to meet your eyes

Afraid one touch will shatter all our yesterdays

We know we’ve both given our hearts

Yet in love we cry the same scars apart

The wounds inside have never healed

We just learned to hide the pain we feel

The ones we love hurt the deepest

Want to hold you, but I can only turn and leave

Whose tenderness became a knife

Whose silence marks the end of life

In the rain, we stand apart

Letting memories soak the heart

The ones we love hurt us most

Can we ever learn to love once more?

In the rain, we stand apart

Dare not touch the traces we’ve left

I’ll keep the last warmth for memory

So a broken heart won’t weep again

The café on the corner still remains

But we no longer share the same space

We’ve become chapters in someone else’s story

Yet still remember the look in each other’s gaze

Thought I could be strong and not care

But the rain shows how unprepared we were

An apology I never said

Pushed by time into the depths of strangers

The ones we love hurt the deepest

Want to hold you, but I can only turn and leave

Whose tenderness became a knife

Whose silence marks the end of life

In the rain, we stand apart

Letting memories soak the heart

The ones we love hurt us most

Can we ever learn to love once more?

In the rain, we stand apart

Dare not touch the traces we’ve left

I’ll keep the last warmth for memory

So a broken heart won’t weep again

The wind carries away our words

The rain cannot wash away the tears

Finally we understand

Love is not possession, but letting go

In this rain, we part in silence

No more right or wrong

Only a quiet farewell remains

Returning our hearts to ourselves
