Did We Make It

Verse 1
I’m looking at you —
old, weathered, carved by years I haven’t lived yet.
Your hands shake like they’ve held too much,
your eyes look like they’ve seen everything
I’m still running from.
I don’t know if you’re softer now
or just tired.
I don’t know if you found peace
or if you finally just stopped fighting.
Pre‑Chorus
I’m scared to ask,
scared to hear the truth
from the only man who knows
how this story ends.
Chorus
Did we make it?
Did we learn to let love in
without flinching?
Did we stop running from the ghosts
that raised us?
Did we become someone worth knowing,
or did we stay the sad, closed‑off version
I’m still trying to outgrow?
Tell me, old man —
did we ever learn how to live?
Verse 2
Did you trust her?
The woman who tried to love you
even when you hid behind your walls.
Did you let her see the real you —
the raw, unpolished, trembling parts
you spent decades burying?
Did marriage soften you,
or did you keep her at arm’s length
because it felt safer
than being truly seen?
Bridge
I don’t want to become you
if you’re still hurting.
I don’t want to grow old
inside the same armor
that’s already too heavy for me now.
Tell me you opened the door.
Tell me you let someone stay.
Tell me the past didn’t win.
Final Chorus
Did we make it?
Did we learn to love without fear,
to trust without shaking,
to let someone hold the parts of us
we never showed anyone?
Did we stop running long enough
to build a life instead of surviving one?
Old man, look me in the eyes —
tell me we didn’t waste all these years
hiding from the world
when we could’ve been living in it.
Tell me we made it.
Tell me we finally became whole.
