If I’m Honest

If I’m honest, I still rewind

Moments I never meant to find

Certain words I let slip past

Thinking they would never last

It’s not regret, it’s not the pain

Just the echo when it rains

Some things leave without a sound

But they stay once you’re around

If I’m honest

I still feel it late at night

If I’m honest

Some stays don’t need a goodbye

I learned the weight of almost said

The quiet cost of what we meant

Not every door was meant to close

Some just stay cracked, I suppose

If I’m honest

I don’t wish it went away

If I’m honest

I just let it have its place

No rewrite, no second scene

Just the truth in-between

What I keep, what I release

Both are part of what I’ll be

If I’m honest

I don’t wish it went away

If I’m honest

I just let it have its place
