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.
