[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I kept your picture in sepia tones
Perfect frame for being alone
But memory’s a liar dressed in gold
It warms the pain the further it goes
You paint it softer than it ever was
Selective vision blurs the loss

[Pre-Chorus]
This cracked reflection shows the truth
The weight of time replacing youth

[Chorus]
I’m done chasing ghosts through rusted gates
Trading substance for a sweet escape
The cold cuts deep, but it breaks the ground
What we’re building now won’t tear me down
This moment burns, but it helps me heal
I choose the pain that’s actually real

[Verse 2]
Old film grain hides the cracks inside
The words we buried just to survive
Now I’m standing in a sharper light
No filter left to make wrongs right
She asks for all of me — the broken parts
It tears me open, but restarts hearts

[Pre-Chorus]
These honest scars are better than
The perfect lies we built back then

[Chorus]
I’m done chasing ghosts through rusted gates
Trading substance for a sweet escape
The cold cuts deep, but it breaks the ground
What we’re building now won’t tear me down
This moment burns, but it helps me heal
I choose the pain that’s actually real

[Bridge]
You were beautiful in hindsight
But hindsight’s just a trick of light
I’m pulling weeds from poisoned soil
Learning growth demands the toil
The thaw is slow, the ice runs deep
But honest ground is mine to keep

[Chorus – Variation]
No more ghosts behind those rusted gates
I’m trading comfort for a harder grace
The cold cuts through, but it clears the fog
What we’re building here won’t come undone
This moment burns, but I’ve learned to feel
I finally know what’s actually real

[Outro]
Guitar fades, echoing clean tone
The photographs can stay inside that drawer
I don’t need them anymore
The present’s where I stand,
With open, steady hands
