Gold in the Hush 3

Verse

Corner store neon humming slow on the hood of your truck

Two summers folded in a t-shirt still warm from you

Radio static playing songs we used to hum together

I'm dusting off this old road like I do every spring

You said goodbye soft as the morning, nothing to prove

Now your voice comes back to me in the rustling leaves of trees

Pre-Chorus

It's funny how a name can still bring light

Years later and my heart still climbs it

I thought this was grief, but it's just gold

Buried deep where the old stories hold

Chorus

So here I'll stay in the hush of what we had

Where your laughter is louder than the silence ever was

Every ache that you left behind has turned to gold

Even your goodbye was never a loss at all

So here I'll stay, soft and slow as this spring rain

Losing you taught me how to love again

Verse

Your old jacket's hanging where my winter coat used to be

I still catch myself turning the key on the door like it's home again

But now it opens up into a room full of strangers

Laughing louder than we ever did, and that's okay

I built this life without you, brick by careful brick

Never traded regret for anything but learning how to live

Pre-Chorus

It's funny how a name can still bring light

Years later and my heart still climbs it

I thought this was grief, but it's just gold

Buried deep where the old stories hold

Chorus

So here I'll stay in the hush of what we had

Where your laughter is louder than the silence ever was

Every ache that you left behind has turned to gold

Even your goodbye was never a loss at all

So here I'll stay, soft and slow as this spring rain

Losing you taught me how to love again

Bridge

I don't need a letter or another ending word

This is the closure my heart's been yearning for

Every scar that didn't kill me turned to something better

Maybe goodbye was always just a door

Chorus

So here I'll stay in the hush of what we had

Where your laughter is louder than the silence ever was

Every ache that you left behind has turned to gold

Even your goodbye was never a loss at all

So here I'll stay, soft and slow as this spring rain

Losing you taught me how to love again

Outro

So here I'll stay in the hush of what we had

Where your laughter is louder than the silence ever was
