In Time

I hope they love how you leave your mess
The way you forget and make me second guess
I hope they find charm in your endless games
When you twist your words, always shifting blame
I hope they laugh when you show up late
And never mind the way you complicate
Oh, I'm sure they'll adore the storm in your head
Just like I did, before my patience bled

But the circle spins, we're not the same
Like shadows fading from a flame
The years will pass, you'll change your tune
While I'm still healing from loving you

And the seasons, they go round and round
We're captive on a carousel of sound
But you can't turn back to where we've been
Just moving forward through the spin

Now they'll taste the sweet little things we had
When you twist your words, always shifting blame
They'll feel the softness in how we used to laugh
The gentle touch that held us from the wrath
You'll tell them secrets that once were mine
Share our inside jokes and call them fine wine
Oh, I'm sure they'll adore the storm in your head
Just like I did, before my patience bled

But the circle spins, we're not the same
Like shadows fading from a flame
The years will pass, you'll change your tune
While I'm still healing from loving you

And the seasons, they go round and round
We're captive on a carousel of sound
But you can't turn back to where we've been
Just moving forward through the spin

Now they'll taste the sweet little things we had
Like the quiet mornings that never felt bad
They'll feel the softness in how we used to laugh
The gentle touch that held us from the wrath
You'll tell them secrets that once were mine
Share our inside jokes and call them fine wine
I wonder if it feels the same
Or do we just play different parts in the same game?

But the circle spins, we're not the same
Like shadows fading from a flame
The years will pass, you'll change your tune
While I'm still healing from loving you

And the seasons, they go round and round
We're captive on a carousel of sound
But you can't turn back to where we've been
Just moving forward through the spin

I won't pretend I'm not broken too
By all the ways we tried and fell through
But I'll take the pieces, give them grace
And wear the scars with a softer face
I hope they see what I couldn't before
That love's not something you can ignore
I hope it's real, I hope it's kind
I hope you find the peace we couldn't find

I'll let the anger fade away
Regret's too heavy, and I can't stay
We were the story we couldn't write
But I wish you love, I wish you light
I hope you laugh, I hope you sing
I hope you find joy in everything
'Cause after all the things we've been through
I still wish the best for you

And the seasons, they go round and round
We're captive on a carousel of sound
But you can't turn back to where we've been
Just moving forward through the spin

And the seasons keep on turning
Another chapter's closed, we're learning
In time, you'll find your way again
And I'll keep moving, through the spin
