I found our words in a drawer last week,
Yellowed edges, coffee leaks.
Every “forever” still bleedin’ blue,
Funny how paper remembers you.
I read ‘em slow like scripture lost,
Every line still worth the cost.
You said “love me when I fade from view,”
Guess I did — maybe too true.
So I struck a match and watched ‘em sigh,
Smoke curl soft like a long goodbye.
Yeah, some hearts don’t heal — they hush,
And some truths turn back to dust.

Burnt letters, floatin’ high,
Ashes sing what words can’t try.
I said my peace, you said your part,
Now I’m free with a smokin’ heart.
Burnt letters, fade and fall,
No regrets — I burned it all.
Still love the ghost, still miss the flame,
But at least I don’t curse your name.

Yeah, I kept your ring and your scent for a year,
Chased peace but found it near.
In the spark, in the quiet, in the way smoke spins,
That’s where goodbye begins.
Ain’t bitter — I’m just done with rewind,
Every memory got its time.
We was gospel loud, then whisper weak,
Now we just names the past won’t speak.
I don’t hate — I outgrew pain,
Still thank the fire that learned my name.
If heaven got grace, I think it sound,
Like paper burnin’ down.

Burnt letters, floatin’ high,
Ashes sing what words can’t try.
I said my peace, you said your part,
Now I’m free with a smokin’ heart.
Burnt letters, fade and fall,
No regrets — I burned it all.
Still love the ghost, still miss the flame,
But at least I don’t curse your name.

We said “always” like we meant “now,”
Didn’t see forever in the how.
I wrote you truth, you read me fear,
And both just disappeared.
Guess closure ain’t a door, it’s smoke,
You breathe it out — that’s how hearts cope.

So I’ll pour this whiskey, toast to the loss,
Bless the lessons, forget the cost.
Ain’t no villain, just time’s design,
You were yours, and I was mine.
Still see your face in the flame’s goodbye,
Still hear your laugh when the smoke drift high.
If love don’t end, it just change form,
Then we still glow after the storm.

Burnt letters, floatin’ high,
Ashes sing what words can’t try.
I said my peace, you said your part,
Now I’m free with a smokin’ heart.
Burnt letters, fade and fall,
No regrets — I burned it all.
Still love the ghost, still miss the flame,
But at least I don’t curse your name.

Some goodbyes gotta glow before they go.
