[Intro – soft acoustic, fingers on strings, room noise]
It all comes back around…
Doesn’t it?
[Verse 1 – quiet, reflective]
I was born into a “we” before I knew my name
Two shadows in the sunlight, running through the same
We learned the world together, we learned how to laugh
Never thought I’d have to learn how to live as half
[Pre-Chorus – soft build]
They say nothing lasts forever
But no one tells you how to carry it after
[Chorus – emotional, aching]
It’s the circle of a life I didn’t choose
Where you’re here one day… then I lose you
But I feel you in everything I do
Like you never really left the room
From the first breath to the last goodbye
We’re just passing through this borrowed time
And even though I don’t understand why
I’ll keep you alive… in this life of mine
[Verse 2 – more personal, fragile]
February still lingers like a ghost in my chest
Every quiet moment never lets me forget
I still turn to tell you things I know you’d get
Then I remember… and it hits me again
[Pre-Chorus – deeper]
Life gives and life takes away
But love don’t leave—it just changes shape
[Chorus – fuller, more emotional]
It’s the circle of a life I didn’t choose
Where you’re here one day… then I lose you
But I feel you in everything I do
Like you’re still walking me through
From the first breath to the last goodbye
We’re just learning how to say “why”
And even though I don’t understand why
I’ll keep you alive… in this life of mine
[Bridge – stripped, almost spoken]
Maybe we’re not meant to hold it all
Maybe we’re just meant to answer the call
To love as deep as we possibly can
Even if it slips right through our hands
[Breakdown – soft, emotional peak]
I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU HAD TO GO…
BUT I KNOW I’LL NEVER LET YOU GO…
[Verse 3 – light enters]
Now I see you in the way I stay
In every breath I choose to take
In every word I’m brave enough to say
You didn’t leave… you just found another way
[Final Chorus – hopeful, healing]
It’s the circle of a life we all move through
Where we lose pieces we thought we knew
But they live on in what we choose
In every step, in every truth
From the first breath to the last goodbye
We’re more than just this passing time
And even though it still makes me cry…
I’ll carry you forward…
For the rest of my life
[Outro – soft, fading guitar]
It all comes back around…
And so do you.
