You Keep Happening
 |
[Hook: 4 bars] You keep happening after the ending. [Verse 1: 16 bars] I remember rain on a street that never had your name. A room with one more window. A photograph that changed. You said we would be careful. I recall it as a vow. Maybe memory moved the furniture. I still can feel you now. [Pre-Chorus: 8 bars] Time edits every witness. The body keeps the take. [Chorus: 8 bars] You keep happening after everything is gone. In the turn before the downbeat, in the note that carries on. You keep happening. I cannot prove you stayed. But every road inside me leans the way your leaving made. [Verse 2: 8 bars] I learned to call it gratitude when grief had lost its teeth. What vanished from the picture kept its rhythm underneath. [Bridge] Maybe we were never meant to last. Maybe lasting was the lie. Some loves survive as motion, not as someone by your side. [One beat silence] [Final Chorus] You keep happening. Not behind me. Not erased You became the way I move through unfamiliar days. submitted by /u/Cyborgized |
