I used to believe the world was waiting for me That somewhere there was a place where I belonged But I spent so many years running after shadows That I forgot what I was running from I collected memories like broken glass Holding every piece even when it hurt my hands I loved people who were only passing through And called it forever because I was afraid to be alone The nights were long The silence was louder than any song And I kept asking the sky for a reason But the stars never answered back Maybe we are all just temporary lights Trying to shine before we disappear Maybe life was never about finding all the answers Maybe it was about finding something worth feeling So here I am At the end of everything I thought I knew Not healed, not fearless Just still here I spent so much time waiting for the world to change That I forgot I was changing too These are love songs for the end of the world For everyone who felt invisible For every heart that broke quietly For every person who smiled while falling apart If tomorrow never comes I hope you remember this moment The nights we danced The people we loved The pieces of ourselves we tried to save Because even when everything was ending We were still alive And maybe that was enough (spoken) "To the younger version of myself... I'm sorry I spent so many years trying to become someone else. I'm sorry I believed my sadness was the only thing that made me special. You were never too much. You were never impossible to love. You were just a soul looking for a home in a world that was always moving. I know you were tired. I know you wanted to disappear sometimes. But look at you now... You survived every night you thought would destroy you. The world didn't become easier. The wounds didn't magically disappear. But somewhere between the heartbreaks and the goodbyes, you found a reason to stay. Maybe we don't get the perfect ending. Maybe we don't become the person we dreamed of. But we get this. One more sunrise. One more song. One more chance to love something before the lights go out." The world kept turning Even after I stopped believing it would And I finally understood... I was never waiting for the end of the world. I was waiting to feel alive again. Love songs for the end of the world. The last song I wrote. The last page of my story. And for the first time in a long time... I don't want to disappear.
