MJCruz - Sunday, August 23

A song about our last day
Lyrics:
It's Sunday morning, August 23
The start feels faint, just history
It was the middle that held us tight
The end that broke, yet felt so right
Not 'cause it was wrong, but 'cause it was real
Now I’m left with just how I feel
Thinking of you brings back the ache
Of all I lost and can't remake
Every time we meet, it feels so new
Like nothing ever broke in two
We laugh and joke, we play pretend
But know too well where stories end
And yet I hold on, can't let go
To every part of you I know
(Please don't let me go)
(Verse 2)
You called that day with tears and doubt
Packed your bag, almost backed out
I wanted to say, "Just come to me"
But fear kept quiet what I couldn't see
I bought your ticket, told you to stay
Hoping the words would chase fears away
When you arrived, I knew it clear
How much I need to hold you near
(Chorus)
Every time we meet, it feels so new
Like nothing ever broke in two
We laugh and joke, we play pretend
But know too well where stories end
And yet I hold on, can't let go
(Please don't let me go)
(Bridge)
Days spent close, just you and me
In that safe space, we were free
In bed all day, hands held tight
Felt like forever, but it was just one night
(Verse 3)
Made you breakfast, you made me smile
Thought we'd be here just for a while
But hours passed, the train drew near
And saying goodbye brought back the fear
The time ran out, no mercy there
Sunday clock ticking through the air
At 1:44, you kissed goodbye
And I knew that it was our last try
(Chorus)
Every time we meet, it feels so new
Like nothing ever broke in two
We laugh and joke, we play pretend
But know too well where stories end
And yet I hold on, can't let go
To every part of you I know
(I can't let go)
(Outro)
But as you faded out of sight
I knew I'd love you, day and night
A bittersweet, haunting memory
Of a love that’s gone that I can't see
