While There Was Us

LETRA:

While There Was Us


(Verse 1)
The house still holds the sound of your laughter
It echoes in the silence of the dawn
Your perfume lingers in my blankets
And I hold the emptiness, trying to find your warmth

Time goes by, but it doesn’t take you away
I find you in everything I do without meaning to
In crooked pictures, in the summer sky
In the wind that gently touches my hand

(Pre-Chorus)
And it hurts to accept that life is this way
That some loves are meant to end someday

(Chorus)
But while there was us
The world was whole
Your smile was my only home
And I was happy without knowing
That forever could hurt this way

If today all that’s left is longing
There’s still love remaining too
You were my favorite place
My sweetest taste

(Verse 2)
I remember nights turning into songs
Plans sketched across the living room floor
You saying it was forever
And me believing every word

If I could go back in time
Just to live it all once more
I would keep every single second
To help me survive afterward

(Bridge)
And if there’s another side of the road
I hope you’ll wait for me there
With that same tight embrace
That made the whole world stop

(Final Chorus)
Because while there was us
Nothing was ever too small
Loving you was my greatest gift
Even if it’s now behind us

And the longing that overwhelms me today
Is proof of what we built
Love doesn’t die with goodbye
It only learns to live in the one who stays

(Outro)
You were the light along my path
And even far away, you still are
If life took away your embrace
It kept our faith inside my heart.
