You Came Back in December” — (Logan’s Reply)

Verse 1 Yeah, I made the time to see you Didn’t think you’d ever call When you asked about my family I felt my guard go up, not fall We talk about work and the weather Like we don’t know what’s underneath Like that night with the roses Wasn’t still haunting me Pre-Chorus You left them there in silence Said nothing at all And I stood in that doorway Learning how to let you go Chorus And now you’re back in December Saying you’re sorry for that night Saying freedom wasn’t freedom It was just missing what was right You say you’d turn around and fix it If you could rewind the time But you walked away from forever When you were mine ⸻ Verse 2 Yeah, September still feels heavy I remember how you cried I remember how you trembled Like you were scared to love this life You say you weren’t sleeping Replaying your goodbye I was wide awake too Just learning how not to try Pre-Chorus You realized you loved me When the leaves turned gold But I realized I lost you When you let my hand go cold Chorus And now you’re back in December Asking if there’s still a chance Saying you’d love me better If I’d just take your hand But loving me right Isn’t words in the snow It’s staying when it’s hard And you didn’t before ⸻ Bridge (Soft / The Decision Moment) You say if the chain’s on the door You’ll understand But chains weren’t what hurt It was watching you choose to walk When I was ready to stand Maybe you’ve changed Maybe you’ve grown Maybe December taught you What I learned alone ⸻ Final Chorus (Open-Ended) You go back to December I live with it every year You say you’d make it right now If I’d just let you near But some things don’t rewind They just shape who we are You want to go back in time I learned how to move forward ⸻ Outro (Quiet) I don’t hate you. I just survived you. And that’s not the same.
