Title: “Letters in the Attic”

Title: “Letters in the Attic” Verse 1 I found a box in the corner of the room Under the dust and the afternoon gloom Tied with ribbon, yellowed and frayed Stories of hearts that time couldn’t fade One by one I read their lines Promises, laughter, and the lost goodbyes Felt like the house had whispered to me All the love it used to keep Chorus Letters in the attic, secrets in the walls Voices from the past echo through the halls I can hear the laughter, I can feel the pain All the loves that stayed and the loves that slipped away Letters in the attic, calling out my name Reminding me that love’s always the same Verse 2 One spoke of a boy who never came home Another, a girl who learned to be alone A postcard from a soldier far at sea A note that said, “I’ll wait for thee” I traced each word with a trembling hand Felt the weight of hearts I’ll never understand And somehow it made me see The lives that came before me Chorus Letters in the attic, secrets in the walls Voices from the past echo through the halls I can hear the laughter, I can feel the pain All the loves that stayed and the loves that slipped away Letters in the attic, calling out my name Reminding me that love’s always the same Bridge Maybe one day someone will find me here Reading the letters with a tear And know the hearts that came before Were the roots of what we’re living for Final Chorus / Outro Letters in the attic, secrets in the walls Voices from the past echo through the halls I can hear the laughter, I can feel the pain All the loves that stayed and the loves that slipped away Letters in the attic, calling out my name Reminding me that love’s always the same
