River (feat. Pamela)

https://youtu.be/EJTLvVuVM5Y

I carried your name like a stone in my coat

Heavy through every season

I thought if I held on long enough

I'd finally find a reason

But rivers don't turn around

They only know one way

Maybe love was never meant

To ask us both to stay

Some things are only ours

For a little while

So let the river keep it

Every promise we couldn't hold

Every photograph we folded

Every story left untold

I'll keep the parts that made me stronger

You can have the rest of time

If love was only borrowed

Then I'll give it back tonight

The morning doesn't ask the moon

Why it had to leave

It simply learns to shine alone

And calls that mercy

I don't need another ending

Just enough light to see

The woman standing in the mirror

Was always meant to be me

So let the river keep it

Every tear I couldn't hide

I'll walk a little lighter now

With both hands open wide

Some hearts don't break forever

They just learn a different beat

And somewhere past the silence

Love is waiting there for me.
