Keepsake

There was snow on the playground
And an old stone wall
We fought 'till we cried then we laughed at it all
I remember knowing I’d finally found home
Every line on your face was etched in my mind
Every scar you misplaced uncovered all mine
I remember knowing how good it could be
I remember knowing it wasn’t for me
All we keep we can’t let go
Happens to be what we needed the most
All we keep we can’t let go
And that’s all I need — all I needed to know
A small empty garden so full of hope
Another long night when I never came home
I remember knowing you were planting those seeds
With every weapon I had I tore at your heart
Every word that I said, meant to rip us apart
I remember knowing this wasn’t the end
I remember knowing we’d meet here again
All we keep we can’t let go
Happens to be what we needed the most
All we keep we can’t let go
And that’s all I need — all I needed to know
