Let’s have a toast to the arguments,
The words I said I can’t unsay,
Let’s have a toast for the eye rolls,
For every time I pushed you away.
Look, I know I’m hard to handle
sharp edges, stubborn pride,
Sometimes I light a fire,
just to watch it burn inside.
So here’s to the moments I slammed the door,
To all the dinners I left cold,
Here’s to the silence after the storm,
and the stories I never told.
If I could play a song for you,
I’d let the piano speak for me,
I’d let every note come crashing down
and say I’m sorry, honestly.
I run when I’m afraid to feel,
When the truth gets too loud,
I hide behind my headphones,
pretending I’m not proud.
Let’s have a toast to the tough love,
for every rule I tried to break,
Let’s have a toast for your patience
and every chance you let me take.
If you need to walk away sometimes,
I get it, I do the same,
But I hope you hear, between the lines,
that I love you, even when I run away.
