Lyrics:

I found that little token tonight
The one you slipped into my hand
On that quiet, romantic night
When everything felt simple
I keep it in my drawer now
Right beside the things I never say

I’m not proud of who I was
I thought love could wait for me
But you needed someone present
Not someone always far away

The day you went
I held your token like it could bring you home
The day you went
I realized everything I should’ve shown
I keep it close
’Cause it’s the only part of you I get
The day you went
Is the day I carry with me yet

I replay that night more than I should
Your smile, the way you leaned on me
I didn’t know it’d be the last
Time you felt close enough to stay
I keep wishing I had noticed
How tired you were of trying

You gave me chances quietly
I wasted them without meaning to
Now silence has your shape
In every corner of this room

The day you went
I held your token like it could bring you home
The day you went
I realized everything I should’ve shown
I keep it close
’Cause it’s the only part of you I get
The day you went
Is the day I carry with me yet

Some nights I press it in my palm
Just to feel close to something real
It’s strange how comfort
Can fit inside something so small
But it’s all that’s left of you
And of who I should’ve been

The day you went
I held your token like it could bring you home
The day you went
I realized everything I should’ve shown
I keep it close
’Cause it’s the only part of you I get
The day you went
Is the day I carry with me yet

Lyrics: 

I’ve been thinking… about how we treat each other.

I’ve walked through days that felt uncertain,
Where every step was soft and slow.
Saw some people holding secrets
Only their tired eyes would show.
And when I stopped and shared a moment,
Just a quiet “hey, I’m here,”
Something warm rose up inside me—
Like a truth becoming clear.

Maybe life speaks in these small things,
And every kindness circles ‘round…

’Cause I believe there’s something bigger,
In the gentle things we do.
And a little good you give away
Finds its way right back to you.
Good goes ’round… it comes back to you,
Good goes ’round… it comes back to you.
Yeah, I believe in something bigger—
Good goes ’round… it comes back to you.

I’ve seen heavy hearts grow lighter
When someone simply chose to stay.
Heard a lonely soul feel seen again
By a few kind words that day.
Makes me slow down, look more gently,
Try to hear their point of view—
Every moment shared with someone
Finds its way back into you.

Yeah, I swear the world feels softer
When we choose to slow things down…

’Cause I believe there’s something bigger,
In the gentle things we do.
And a little good you give away
Finds its way right back to you.
Good goes ’round… it comes back to you,
Good goes ’round… it comes back to you.
Yeah, I believe in something bigger—
Good goes ’round… it comes back to you.

I’ve been thinking… and I just want to do better.
