Kai Lim - Learned It From You

She caught herself humming a melody she didn't know she knew — and then recognized it as her mother's. The coffee made the same way. The patience held the same way. The door stopped for the same beautiful thing. She never knew she was watching all those years. But she kept everything. [Lyrics] I caught myself humming something in the kitchen A song I didn't know I knew by heart And then I heard it — your voice underneath it The melody you hummed right from the start I make my coffee the exact same way you do Two sugars and a little more than needed And I stood there in the morning light and thought How much of me was quietly seeded The way I hold my patience when it matters The way I always make enough for more The way I stop to notice something beautiful Before I walk on past and close the door I never watched you teaching me these things They came in through the ordinary days And now I find them living in my hands In all my small unconscious ways I learned it from you, all the quiet things The way to love without condition, what a life can bring I learned it from you, every gentle part The way to hold a stranger with an open heart I didn't know I was watching all those years I didn't know I was keeping everything But now I find you everywhere inside me In everything I do, I learned it from you I called you just to say it But you answered like it was nothing Like the years of everything you gave me Were just the ordinary way of loving And maybe that's the thing I love the most That you never kept a count of what it cost I learned it from you, all the quiet things The way to love without condition, what a life can bring I learned it from you, every gentle part The way to hold a stranger with an open heart I didn't know I was watching all those years I didn't know I was keeping everything But now I find you everywhere inside me In everything I do, I learned it from you Still learning Still you Everywhere in me Learned it from you © 2026 Kai Lim.
