emotional
female vocals
classic
Soft
sad
Intimate soft piano ballad with warm
close-mic’d female vocals; delicate strings entering gradually. First verse bare piano and voice
then violins and subtle cello swelling into a hopeful
tearful climax on the final chorus. Gentle reverb
light string tremolos under the bridge
ending on a lingering piano chord and hushed vocal ad-lib.

歌詞
[Verse 1]
All these paper boats
Names and dates along the seams
Floating in the sink
Like the childhood I still need
You said
“We’ll try again”
Smiled so hard your fingers shook
Held the pieces in your hands
Like a torn-out final page from our book
[Chorus]
I’m not ready to let go yet
So I’m folding every broken bit into a wish
If this is all the time we get
Let it hurt
Let it heal
Let it all look like this
Tears on the table
Hands that still tremble
But I see tomorrow in your eyes
I’m emotional
Hopeful
And hurting
And somehow that feels like life
[Verse 2]
Photos on the fridge
Crooked magnets barely hold
We’ve been living in between
What we wanted
What we’re told
You laugh through the cracks
Say
“We’re braver than we know”
In the echo of your voice
I hear a promise learning how to grow
[Chorus]
I’m not ready to let go yet
So I’m folding every broken bit into a wish
If this is all the time we get
Let it hurt
Let it heal
Let it all look like this
Tears on the table
Hearts that still tremble
But I see tomorrow in your eyes
I’m emotional
Hopeful
And hurting
And somehow that feels like life
[Bridge]
Maybe hope is just
Fear that stayed the night
Maybe love is just
Choosing to stay and fight
[Chorus]
I’m not ready to let go yet
So I’m lifting every shattered dream into the light
If this is all the time we get
I will carry every scar into the bright
Tears on the table
Hearts growing stable
‘Cause I see tomorrow in your eyes
I’m emotional
Hopeful
And hurting
And somehow that feels like
Somehow that feels like life (oh)
All these paper boats
Names and dates along the seams
Floating in the sink
Like the childhood I still need
You said
“We’ll try again”
Smiled so hard your fingers shook
Held the pieces in your hands
Like a torn-out final page from our book
[Chorus]
I’m not ready to let go yet
So I’m folding every broken bit into a wish
If this is all the time we get
Let it hurt
Let it heal
Let it all look like this
Tears on the table
Hands that still tremble
But I see tomorrow in your eyes
I’m emotional
Hopeful
And hurting
And somehow that feels like life
[Verse 2]
Photos on the fridge
Crooked magnets barely hold
We’ve been living in between

What we’re told

[Chorus]
I’m not ready to let go yet
So I’m folding every broken bit into a wish
If this is all the time we get
Let it hurt
Let it heal
Let it all look like this

Hearts that still tremble
But I see tomorrow in your eyes
I’m emotional

And hurting
And somehow that feels like life

And somehow that feels like
Somehow that feels like life (oh)
