Souvenir

Verse 1  
You left a note unread  
A silver ring beside the bed  
The air still held your laugh  
But nothing else was left  

Chorus  
Souvenir of something fading  
A final gift with no explaining  
I keep it near my window sill  
A weight too quiet to kill  

Verse 2  
Your coat is in the hall  
The scent still clings to fall  
The book you loved is closed  
Its ending no one knows  

Chorus  
Souvenir of something fading  
A final gift with no explaining  
I keep it near my window sill  
A weight too quiet to kill  

Bridge  
I never asked for pieces  
But you knew how to leave them  

Outro  
A souvenir that won’t decay  
But never lets me look away
