M4/4 Keeping Score Without Letting Go. ISRC-CB-GWT-26-00289

[Verse 1 — Female] You gave me just a little light, A little room to breathe. You held my hand when I was lost, And asked for nothing from me. [M] Now here we stand behind this door, With everything unsaid. I thought I knew what love would be— But you changed everything instead. [ Female] Why do we whisper when we know? Why are we afraid to say That every road we've walked apart Has brought us here today? [Chorus — F] I'm not changing my mind, I don't need another sign. I won't wait for some perfect day To tell you what's already mine. [M] Your pride built up a wall between us, Your fear says we should let go. But I've kept every moment, Every step, every door— And my heart keeps the score. [Verse 2 — M] It was hard to say goodbye, Harder than I let you know. Through every storm and every turn, I learned what I couldn't let go. I knew what I was missing Every time I walked away. Your voice stayed in my memory, Long after the light of day. [Duet ] Female: So tell me what you're waiting for. Male: I was afraid to ask for more. Female: Then don't hide behind tomorrow. Male: Don't make me promise what I cannot know. Female: I don't need a perfect promise. Male: I can only promise what is true. Both: If we have one chance to choose, I choose you. [Chorus — Both] I'm not changing my mind, I don't need another sign. We don't need a perfect future To begin with tonight. All the roads that pulled us backward, All the walls we had to cross, Every time we almost let go Only showed us what we'd lost. And our hearts kept the score. [Bridge — Male] Be honest with your heart. Female: I am. Male: Then hear me clearly. I cannot promise That every road will be easy. I cannot erase the distance, Or change the years we've lost. But if you still want me— Female: I do. Then I'll find my way back to you. [Final Chorus — Both, soaring] I'm not changing my mind, And I'm done pretending I don't know. You were never just a moment, You were never just a door. The fear can wait till morning, The papers can wait too. Tonight there is only one thing I need to know is true— Female: You came back. Male: I came back. F: And this time we're not letting go. [Final Lift — Both] You gave me light, I gave you trust. We crossed the distance Because we had to. No perfect script, No promised road— Just two hearts keeping score Without letting go. [Outro — Female] You left... I came back. Welcome home. Now close the door.
