I still sit on that porch let the heat settle in my skin
Watch the dust rise slow off the gravel
Same old chair same old thoughts
Some things stick around longer than they should
Ain't mad you left
Just wasn't built to hold you here
Some people are meant to run
Some of us just stay put
It's alright if you forget about me
If your world feels lighter without my weight
I won't ask you to hold onto something
That was always gonna slip away
But some days when the wind moves just right
When the air tastes like rain
I still hear your voice
Like it never left at all
I hope he holds your hand
Without thinkin' twice about it
Hope he knows your moods
Before you even say a word
Bet he laughs when you get stubborn
Bet he loves the fire in your eyes
I did too guess I just burned too cold
You needed something steady
I needed time to figure it out
And here we are
Just two roads that never crossed again
It's alright if you forget about me
If your world feels lighter without my weight
I won't ask you to hold onto something
That was always gonna slip away
But some days when the wind moves just right
When the air tastes like rain
I still hear your voice
Like it never left at all
Maybe love don't leave
Just shifts where it settles
Maybe I ain't sad
Just a little lost in the quiet
Maybe it don't mean nothin'
Or maybe it means everything
But either way
I let you go
It's alright if you forget about me
If your world keeps turnin' just fine
I won't ask you to carry what's already been laid down
But some things don't ever really leave
Like the way the creek still hums behind the house
Or the way the sky turns gold before it fades
Some days I think about you like that
Just a little light in the distance
