The Last Refrain

Searching

There never was an answer

Stars are out tonight

That never really saw her

It's the rhythm of the her heart

Beating against all the odds

Silence

And then a whispered answer

It's the last time you'll say never again

Last time you'll break and then pretend

Last time you'll welcome the pain like a friend

It's the last time you'll play this losing game

Last time you'll gamble with the shame

Last time, the last refrain

Timeless

A deep infinite process

Souls across the stars

Maybe they were always watching

It's the rhythm of our hearts

Telling stories of our scars

Kindness

And then a whispered promise

The last time you'll say never again

The last time you'll break and then pretend

Last time, you'll welcome the pain like a friend

It's the last time time, you'll play this losing game

Last time you'll gamble with the shame

Last time, the last refrain

The first day you'll breathe and not look back

First day you'll shatter what was said

First day you'll silence the ghosts of regret

The first day you'll forgive and accept

First day you'll love yourself again

First day, a new refrain
