Some endings don’t happen all at once.
They fade in slow, leaving traces—song after song, truth after truth—until you realize there’s nothing left to give.

We begin with "I Don’t Have Much", where love has worn the soul thin, and all that remains are tired hands and an aching heart.

"I’m Not Your Fool Anymore" walks in with quiet strength—not as revenge, but as the final stand of dignity.

In "Being Silent Is Not Not Knowing", the absence of words says more than any argument could.

"Don’t Play Me Slow" carries a mercy plea: if this is the end, don’t drag it out—let it fall quickly, cleanly.

With "There’s Your Name", a single word becomes a knife, cutting through years as if they were only yesterday.

The chill arrives in "DON’T WALK AWAY SO COLD", when the warmth leaves before the body even moves.

"Don’t Leave Me Alone" spills the last plea, stripped of pride and guardedness.

Then "Shake On These Rails" rattles with the sound of departure, each vibration carrying pieces of what once was ours.

"Still Have Hands" reaches out—not for what’s gone, but to prove that feeling still exists somewhere in the marrow.

"Backroad Moonlight Blues" drifts under quiet skies, headlights fading into the distance with words left unsaid.

We return "Back on These Old Streets", where every crack in the pavement still remembers the weight of two pairs of footsteps.

And finally, "Several Years Late"—a confession that arrives far too late to change the ending, but still insists on being spoken.

💔 Every song is a wound reopened.
🎶 Every note is a truth you can’t unhear.
