The Last Bell

Letra

[Verse 1] You left your sketchbook by the window A paper crane tucked in the fold I wrote your name beneath the timetable Then crossed it out before it showed [Pre-Chorus] The bell rang twice, the hallway emptied Your footsteps faded down the stairs I held the words I meant to give you Like something fragile in my hands [Chorus] Say what you mean before the day is over Look me in the eyes and let the silence break If we keep pretending nothing has been spoken We’ll lose the little truth we tried to save [Verse 2] The clubroom smelled of chalk and oranges Rain tapped softly on the glass You laughed at something someone told you And I watched the moment pass [Pre-Chorus] A folded note inside my pocket Warm from all the times I touched it I could have turned and called your name then But fear was faster than my feet [Chorus] Say what you mean before the day is over Look me in the eyes and let the silence break If we keep pretending nothing has been spoken We’ll lose the little truth we tried to save [Bridge] Tomorrow comes with clean white pages But it can’t erase what we already know I don’t need a perfect answer Just don’t leave me guessing where we go [Final Chorus] Say what you mean before the day is over Look me in the eyes and let the silence break Even if the truth can change the road before us Let it be a road we chose to take [Outro] The last bell fades beyond the doorway Your name still waits beneath my hand
