I can let go

[Verse 1]
Behind the ice, we’re living the life we never had,
Your hand in mine, the quiet home, the years we might have shared.
I knew the picture wasn’t real, knew it would never come true,
Still, I watched it glow with all the love I saved for you.

[Chorus]
I touch the wall; the whole dream breaks,
A thousand pieces fall where your face used to stay.
I loved that life, though it was never ours to hold,
Now even the reflection lets me go.

[Verse 2]
There’s your laugh caught in the frozen pane,
A Sunday kitchen, sunlight on your sleeve.
I stand here softly, grateful for the ache,
For every tender thing I once believed.

[Bridge]
My fingertip meets winter; the silence gives way,
No anger in the breaking, no blame left to say.

[Outro]
The ice comes down; I keep the love,
And let the life we dreamed of go.
