LET THE MOON UNDO THE PAIN

INTRO

Let the evening wind

undress your sorrow

Let the moon make silver

of the scars you hide.

You don’t have to answer

every wound that ever bled.

Some things heal in silence.

Some things die to leave us alive.

And if tomorrow finds you

with a different heart to hold

I will love you like the wildflowers

love the dark.

VERSE I

Let the last light loosen what the long nights tied,

Let the lost years loosen their grip on your life.

We were chasing constellations, trying to own the sky,

With our hands full of forever

and our hearts too tired to fly.

You wore your pain like pearls around your throat,

I wore my fear like armor, I called it hope.

We built a thousand bridges out of words we couldn’t say,

Then watched the rain turn every stone

to rivers washing yesterday away.

And I don’t need your reasons,

I don’t need to win.

I don’t need to know the kingdom

that you keep beneath your skin.

If your heart needs room for breathing,

if your soul needs room to roam,

I can love you from a distance

without turning love to stone.

PRE-CHORUS

No chains around your ankles,

no claim upon your flame.

I would rather miss you honestly

than hold you here in chains.

And if the stars should scatter,

if the heavens split in two

I would never call you faithless

for becoming more of you.

Chorus

GO, MY LOVE, GO LET THE WILD WIND KNOW!

Let the roots run deep, let the roses grow.

You were never mine to keep,

You were never mine to own.

FLY, MY LOVE, FLY LET THE BLACK SKY BREAK!

Let the dawn come bleeding through the heartache.

If the world should pull us wide apart,

YOU CAN LEAVE MY ARMS

WITHOUT LEAVING MY HEART.

Oh-oh, let the moon undo the pain,

Let the night wash clean the windowpane.

Love is not a lock, not a debt, not a chain

IT’S A LIGHT THAT STAYS

WHEN THE LOVERS WALK AWAY.

VERSE II

I have loved you in the thunder, in the tremor, in the heat,

In the midnight mathematics of two strangers’ heartbeats.

In the way your smile could melt the frost that ruled my chest,

In the quiet little “goodnight” that made the whole world rest.

Goodnight, my star.

Five words, and suddenly the streetlights

looked like angels in the rain.

Every rooftop held a promise;

every window spoke your name.

And perhaps the stars were lying,

perhaps fate was just a dream

But your voice could turn the ordinary

into something evergreen.

I don’t need to call it destiny

to know what it has been.

Some eternities are measured

by the seconds we live in.

Your perfume after rainfall,

your laughter in the hall,

the way you said my name

as if I wasn’t broken after all.

PRE-CHORUS II

We were never made of marble.

We were weather, we were waves.

We were two imperfect creatures

trying not to be afraid.

And I cannot promise always.

I cannot command the sea.

But I can promise, when I love you,

I will let you still be free.

CHORUS

GO, MY LOVE, GO LET THE WILD WIND KNOW!

Let the roots run deep, let the roses grow.

You were never mine to keep,

You were never mine to own.

FLY, MY LOVE, FLY LET THE BLACK SKY BREAK!

Let the dawn come bleeding through the heartache.

If the world should pull us wide apart,

YOU CAN LEAVE MY ARMS

WITHOUT LEAVING MY HEART.

Love is not a lock, not a debt, not a chain

IT’S A LIGHT THAT STAYS

WHEN THE LOVERS WALK AWAY.

BRIDGE

There are ghosts in every goodbye,

little lives we’ll never live.

There are words that die between us

and the words we still forgive.

Let them go.

Let them grieve.

Let the heart break open wide.

Not every love is meant to stay.

Not every truth needs to be explained.

Some flowers bloom at midnight

and are beautiful all the same.

And if one day you’re standing

beneath a different moon,

with a different hand to hold you,

and a different life in bloom

May the world be soft around you.

May your nights be kind and deep.

May you find the peace we dreamed of

in the promises we couldn’t keep.

I will not curse the distance.

I will not damn the years.

You gave beauty to my brokenness.

I will not repay you with tears.

BREAK

If love means I must lose you

Then let losing you

be the last thing

I do

for love.

FINAL CHORUS

GO, MY LOVE, GO LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW!

You were born for more than the arms you know.

Let your wings unfold, let your wild heart roam

YOU DON’T OWE ME FOREVER

TO HAVE MADE MY HEART A HOME.

FLY, MY LOVE, FLY LET THE DAWN COME THROUGH!

There will always be a little light from me to you.

And if time should turn our footsteps into stars,

YOU CAN LEAVE MY ARMS

WITHOUT LEAVING MY HEART.

Let the rain fall soft, let the old wounds close,

Let the silence teach what the wild heart knows.

We were never cages. We were never chains.

WE WERE TWO FREE SOULS

WHO MADE BEAUTY OUT OF PAIN.

OUTRO

Goodnight, my star.

The lamps burn low.

The rain has stopped.

The flowers grow.

And somewhere, underneath a sky

that doesn’t belong to me or you,

a little moon is shining

like it always used to do.

No promise.

No prison.

No need to explain.

Just love,

still luminous,

after the rain.

Goodnight, my star.

Be free.

Be loved.

Be home.
