One Slow Breath — DmitriiK

Текст песни

You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair
A grocery list with your old handwriting there
Two cups drying by the window frame
Small things stay when the rest has changed
I took the long way past the corner store
Where we split one peach and argued over the score
Now every block has a detail I knew
And every turn keeps pointing back to you

I keep telling myself that the past is past
But a quiet room can make a moment last

I’m learning how to let you go
One slow breath, one open road
Even when the daylight fades
I’ll find my feet, I’ll make my way
You were a chapter, not the whole
A hand I held, not mine to hold
I’m learning how to let you go
And still become someone I know

I boxed your books, left the postcards in
Couldn’t throw away the places we had been
My sister called, said, “Come eat at eight”
So I showed up early, helped her set the plates
She told a story till the whole room laughed
I felt the sound reach the part I’d kept locked fast
It wasn’t fixed, but the air moved through
And for the first time, I believed that too

I keep telling myself that the past is past
But a quiet room can make a moment last

I’m learning how to let you go
One slow breath, one open road
Even when the daylight fades
I’ll find my feet, I’ll make my way
You were a chapter, not the whole
A hand I held, not mine to hold
I’m learning how to let you go
And still become someone I know

Maybe healing isn’t some grand design
Maybe it’s making dinner, getting home on time
Maybe it’s the first new song I choose
Without checking if it would’ve worked for you

I’m learning how to let you go
One slow breath, one open road
Even when the daylight fades
I’ll find my feet, I’ll make my way
You were a chapter, not the whole
A hand I held, not mine to hold
I’m learning how to let you go
And still become someone I know

One slow breath, one open road
I’m learning how to let you go
