Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Morning sunlight slants across my bedroom floor
Breakfast sits in silence at the empty chair
My small hands fumble with the buttons on my shirt
The clock ticks slowly through the morning air
Pictures smile at me from places high above
The house feels different now, so still and bare
[Pre-chorus]
Trying hard to stand up tall
Learning things I never knew
Missing warmth that used to be
Time moves forward, pulling me through
[Chorus]
These laces twist and turn between my fingers
Like memories that I can't quite hold today
I practice knots until the pattern lingers
While morning light just slowly fades away
[Verse 2]
Someone packed my lunch with careful, gentle hands
The sandwich cut in shapes I used to know
Her favorite sweater hanging by the door still stands
Like time forgot to tell it when to go
The mirror shows me growing inch by inch
While seasons change and autumn breezes blow
[Bridge]
La la di da mm-mmm
(Ooh-ooh, ah-ah)
La la di da mm-mmm
(Hold me close now)
[Final Chorus]
These laces twist and turn between my fingers
Like pieces of a life I knew before
I tie the knots the way you showed me better
And hold these little victories in store
[Post-chorus]
Small steps forward, day by day
Learning how to find my way
