LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
The shoreline doesn’t ask me why
It just keeps breathing gray
Every step feels like goodbye
Washing softer with the waves
Your voice is somewhere in the mist
But I don’t turn around
I carried you as far as this
To where I lay you down
[Pre-Chorus]
No more echoes in my chest
No more words I couldn’t say
[Chorus]
I leave you in the quiet water
Let the silence take your name
All the weight I used to carry
Drifting slowly into gray
I don’t need a final answer
I don’t need to understand
I just came to set you free
From the trembling of my hands
[Verse 2]
The sky hangs low but doesn’t fall
Like the tears I never cried
There’s a calm inside it all
Where the hurt has nowhere to hide
The wind moves through what still remains
Soft as mercy, soft as truth
I’m not asking for the pain
To give me back my youth
[Pre-Chorus]
Every shadow fades in time
Even love we couldn’t save
[Chorus]
I leave you in the quiet water
Let the silence take your name
All the weight I used to carry
Drifting slowly into gray
I don’t need a final answer
I don’t need to understand
I just came to set you free
From the trembling of my hands
[Bridge]
I feel you slipping from my shoulders
Like a breath I couldn’t keep
There’s a peace in letting go now
In the stillness, in the deep
[Final Chorus]
I leave you in the quiet water
Where the past can finally sleep
I just came to set you free
And set a little free in me
[Outro]
The shoreline doesn’t ask me why
It just lets you fade away
