Lyrics
Morning came before the sun was ready
Same old roads, slow and cold and steady
Back and forth through seasons changing
While your quiet smile kept fading
Pills on the table, blankets by the sofa
Months went by, and I held you closer
Learning how to measure every heartbeat
Living day by day… one breath, one heartbeat
In those white halls where time stood still
I held your trembling fingertips
We went home… in different directions
You to the stars, me to reflections
I kept your voice inside my chest
Like love could save what death has left
So tell me, Mom… how do I heal?
How do I live with what I feel?
You found your peace beyond my sight…
And I came home… alone tonight
Now every room still holds your echoes
In folded clothes and half-read notes
I memorize the smallest pieces
Like somehow memory keeps you breathing
Your favorite cup still by the window
Your quiet chair still faces home
And every day I ask the silence…
Who will teach me how to let you go?
If love could ever wear a face
I still see yours in every place
We went home… in different directions
You past the pain, beyond reflections
I keep your voice inside my chest
The only place you never left
So tell me, Mom… will I be fine?
Will broken things survive with time?
You found your peace beyond my sight…
And I came home…
Without you…
For the first time
I still turn around… when I say “Mom”…
Like somehow you’re still not too far
But if not you, Mom…
Who will teach me to let go with grace?
