If You Ever Hear This

You said you needed silence
Needed space to find yourself
And I won't be the reason
You don't get that for yourself
So I'll stay on this side of it
Say the things I never said
And leave them in these songs
In case they reach you instead

If you ever hear this, I hope you know it's you
Every word I couldn't say, every line I never knew
I know I might not see you again, I know that's the truth
But if these songs find you someday
Just know they were always for you
They were always for you

I don't know where you'll end up
Or who you'll be by then
If you'll even think about me
Or just forget we met
But you left something with me
That I can't just let go
So I'm turning it into something
You might never even know

If you ever hear this, I hope you know it's you
Every word I couldn't say, every line I never knew
I know I might not see you again, I know that's the truth
But if these songs find you someday
Just know they were always for you

I'm not asking you to come back
I'm not asking you to stay
I just needed somewhere to put
Everything I couldn't say
And if you're out there healing
Becoming who you need to be
I hope you find the version of you
That couldn't be with me

If you ever hear this
Somewhere down the line

You were never just a moment
You were something I couldn't define
And maybe that's enough
