Vocals: Wilbur
Music and Arrangement: Dan
Lyrics: Jaawi Sakaguchi
Lyrics:
Unintentional tender wounds,
the unknowing edge of our own hearts,
the unknowing blade that cut you deep.
I picture us, sun-drenched afternoons,
where our dreams danced like fireflies,
bound by the earth, yet yearning for skies.
The radiant, the beautiful, the broken,
tomorrow calls me, a distant siren,
but how can I move toward the dawn?
I must keep walking, even as I yearn
to turn back, to grasp at the fading light,
to piece together the beautiful wreckage
of a love that burned too bright.
The warmth of skin, the sunlight that poured through our mornings, could I ever return to those sunlit days?
Fading in the light of what I’ve lost?
Stealing warmth from a heart that beat for us both, it was a crime I never knew I committed.
The radiant, the beautiful, the broken,
tomorrow calls me, a distant siren,
but how can I move toward the dawn?
I must keep walking, even as I yearn
to turn back, to grasp at the fading light,
to piece together the beautiful wreckage
of a love that burned too bright.
How can one so selfish, so blind,
not see the fractures forming
beneath the surface?
I remember the way you smiled,
light dancing through your eyes,
I walk forward, the road ahead
paved with uncertainty,
sunlight danced between tomorrow
and yesterday, looking back can
shatter the fragile dawn,
I keep going, but the memories linger,
like the scent of rain on parched earth,
reminds me sometimes,
the most beautiful things
are the ones that break us.
