Midnight Letter To Juan
- **MIDNIGHT LETTER TO JUAN**
- Intro (breathy)
- Dear Juan —it's 3 AM and the city won't forgive me for remembering you
- Verse 1
- Dear Juan, I wrote your name in the margins of a playlist,
- played it back until the tracks bled into my chest, yeah I miss it.
- Neon ghosts on my ceiling, your laugh in the static,
- empty bottles on the table, promises that turned tragic.
- I tried to stitch us up with lullabies and cheap wine,
- you left like a season, now the weather’s in decline.
- I keep your picture folded where the cold meets my hoodie,
- paper cuts from memories, love's never been so moody.
- Pre‑Chorus
- Every night I replay the last time you called,
- your silence was an earthquake, my chest watched it fall.
- I scribble apologies on receipts and cigarette ash,
- wish I could rewind —but time keeps takin' it back.
- Chorus (hook)
- This is a letter to Juan, written on a flame,
- I whisper all the words but they never sound the same.
- Unsent and undone, folded up and thrown,
- I keep missin' you in places where the lights are low.
- Letter to Juan, sign my name in the dark,
- tell me you forgave me, tell me you kept my heart.
- Verse 2
- Dear Juan, you carried storms and I carried the calm,
- we traded war‑paint smiles for morning's sudden harm.
- You said you'd stay forever, then you learned to disappear,
- left me tracing outlines of the man who used to steer.
- I overdose on memories, dream of sober confessions,
- your words still hit like broken glass and late night lessons.
- I call your name in sleep like I'm tryin' to bring you back,
- but the taxi lights keep passing, and the world stays off track.
- Pre‑Chorus
- I replay our mistakes like a song on repeat,
- I keep a little hope in my pocket —it's tiny and beat.
- If letters could breathe, this page would be a scream,
- I'm writing you a lifeline from the bottom of my dreams.
- Chorus (hook)
- This is a letter to Juan, written on a flame,
- I whisper all the words but they never sound the same.
- Unsent and undone, folded up and thrown,
- I keep missin' you in places where the lights are low.
- Letter to Juan, sign my name in the dark,
- tell me you forgave me, tell me you kept my heart.
- Bridge (whispered, melodic)
- Maybe you found peace in a city that I can't find,
- maybe your mornings don't taste like the bottle and the night.
- If love is a currency, I spent mine on regrets,
- but I keep the receipts —every kiss, every threat.
- So if you ever read this under streetlamp memory,
- know I kept your promises even when you left me.
- Breakdown
- Dear Juan —I burned our names into an old mixtape,
- played it till the speakers cried and my pulse escaped.
- Signed with a trembling hand, ink stained with lies,
- but I'm honest in the dark when the whole world dies.
- Final Chorus (soft, aching)
- This is a letter to Juan, written on a flame,
- I whisper all the words but they never sound the same.
- Unsent and undone, folded up and thrown,
- I keep missin' you in places where the lights are low.
- Letter to Juan, sign my name in the dark,
- tell me you forgave me, tell me you kept my heart.
- Outro (fading)
- Dear Juan —if you read this, tear it up or keep it close,
- either way, I'm sayin' what I could never say to your ghost.
- Love, the kid who lost his map and learned to roam,
- still penning midnight letters, still callin' you home.
