We Left Behind

作曲：JIEKE

I still remember that old street light

Where we were running through the July night

Your little laugh my faded shoes

A thousand dreams we thought were true

We wrote our names on classroom walls

Chasing sunsets after school was gone

Didnt know that growing up

Means losing things we love so much

Maybe autumn came to take our hands

And pull us to different lands

Maybe every goodbye we knew

Was making space for something new

So I'll let you go but I wont forget

The summer rain and the silhouettes

The little boy and the little girl

Who believed they could change the world

We were lost but we were alive

Under the same old summer sky

If we meet somewhere down the road

I hope you know

I never hated you I just learned to grow

Your favorite song still plays sometimes

Like a memory from another life

The empty swings the playground tears

The dreams we carried through the years

We thought forever meant staying close

But some flowers bloom when theyre alone

Not every story has to stay

Some hearts are meant to drift away

Maybe we were only a chapter

Not the ending we were after

But every moment that we shared

Still feels like sunlight in the air

And when the winter gets too cold

I'll remember days of gold

The summer that we couldnt keep

But the summer that lives in me

So I'll let you go with a smile tonight

No more holding onto yesterdays light

The tears we cried the roads we crossed

Were never really something lost

We were young we were wild we were free

A beautiful mistake in history

And if the world brings us back someday

I'll say your name

Like the summer never faded away

Goodbye to the autumn that made us apart

Thank you for the summer you left in my heart
