Jenny Scarpiello - The life we never finished (Official Lyric Video)

The life we never finished - Letra THE LIFE WE NEVER FINISHED The waves are louder after midnight Maybe everything is When there’s no one left to talk to But the sea Waves were breaking softly Like they always used to do And I stood there by the shoreline Thinking only of you Same sand beneath my footsteps Same wind against my skin Funny how a place can hold Everything we’ve been I walked past where we used to sit Shoes hanging from our hands You drew circles in the shoreline While I talked about our plans The tide erased our footprints But somehow not the past I guess the ocean knows Some things disappear And still somehow last And somewhere in this city You’re probably awake Underneath the same dark sky Taking roads I never take Maybe we still pass the places That once belonged to us Same city Different lives And neither one looks back We were a life we never finished A story left between the waves A future drawn in disappearing lines The water couldn’t save Same city Different lives now But I still find you everywhere In streets I know In songs I skip In salt still hanging in the air Maybe some loves don’t end The way we thought they would Maybe they become a place You leave But never leave for good I stayed until the beach went empty Until the lights grew small Watched the moon break on the water Like it remembered it all I wondered if you ever come here When you need somewhere to breathe If you stand where I was standing And feel something underneath Do you think about the version Of us that almost made it through Or did that future only live Inside the way I looked at you It’s strange to share a city With someone you once knew by heart To be a few miles from each other And somehow worlds apart I came home with sand still on me Left my sweater on the chair Turned the bedroom light off slowly And felt you everywhere I still sleep on my side Like your side belongs to you Still leave a little space beside me Without meaning to Sometimes in the middle of the night My hand reaches through the sheets For a body that’s not there Before my memory catches me And I hate how little habits Outlive the people who are gone How the heart keeps making room For someone who moved on Maybe it wasn’t just a night We never got to finish Maybe it was a life A kitchen we never stood in A morning coffee never made A hundred ordinary Sundays That never got a name A home we never argued in A door you never came through A version of me growing older Still waking up beside you I don’t miss memories only Sometimes I miss what never came How do you grieve a future That never had the chance To become a yesterday We were a life we never finished And maybe that’s what hurts the most Not losing only what we had But everything we almost chose Same city Different lives now Same moon above our separate rooms You became someone I remember In places that still feel like you And maybe love can be real Even when it doesn’t stay Maybe something can be beautiful And still not find a way It’s almost five now I can hear the ocean in my head Even from here I keep thinking about the tide How it knows when to return And when to leave Maybe I’m learning that too The darkness started thinning At the edges of the blinds Blue became a little lighter And something shifted in my mind Your side of the bed was empty Just like every night before But for once it didn’t feel Like something I was waiting for I opened up the window Let the morning fill the room And watched the sky turn silver Then slowly turn to blue Maybe healing isn’t waking And forgetting who you were Maybe it’s remembering everything And hurting a little less We were a life we never finished A story the ocean still remembers A thousand almost-moments I carried through September Same city Different lives now And maybe that’s okay You can belong to my past Without belonging to my days I thought losing you meant losing Every future I once knew But the sun still found my window And the morning still came through So if the beach still knows us Let it keep what we once were I don’t need to erase you To know that I survived the hurt The sun came up without you And I was still here The waves kept moving The city woke Your side of the bed stayed empty And for the first time It felt like space Not absence Maybe we never finished The life we thought we’d live But morning found me anyway And I still have one to give
