The Forecast Says Sunset

Verse

Six years and the same worn couch seam

Your hoodie on my shoulder, borrowed heat

You call me at exactly half past four

Saying you're running late for nothing more

I know it's habit now, not a promise kept

Still I'm holding out — what's left to keep?

Pre-Chorus

So tell me is this still the plan

A slow goodbye like a fading hand

Or do we just admit the truth

That the ending already happened to you

Chorus

The forecast says sunset, soft and gold

Not the kind that breaks but fades to cold

I'm keeping my umbrella up for rain instead of snow

Cause endings look prettier in sepia, don't they though?

Verse 2

Your truck is gone now, just a shadow on the wall

Packing boxes where your video games once stalled

I still keep the jacket that smelled like you that night

Not because it holds the love but something like light

The porch light flickers — I know I should turn it off

Maybe grief and gratitude can live as one though

Pre-Chorus

So tell me is this still the plan

A slow goodbye like a fading hand

Or do we just admit the truth

That the ending already happened to you

Chorus

The forecast says sunset, soft and gold

Not the kind that breaks but fades to cold

I'm keeping my umbrella up for rain instead of snow

Cause endings look prettier in sepia, don't they though?

Bridge

Maybe closure's just a myth we sold

That every ending has to hurt like it's told

No, it's just the light bleeding out before it dies

Gold on the horizon — that's still sunrise, not goodbye

Outro

So I'm keeping my umbrella open wide

Not because I don't feel sad inside

But because this kind of gray can be a sky

And we were never built for the same goodbyes
