Lyrics
(Verse 1 — soft, airy)
I trace your name in the fog on my window,
Like maybe this time it won’t disappear,
You’re standing close but you feel like a memory,
A love that was never meant to be here—
Your voice is a song I can’t stop replaying,
A melody stitched into my veins,
But every note ends in silence between us,
And I’m the one left in the pain…
(Pre-Chorus — building)
If I could steal one moment from time,
I’d make your heartbeat echo with mine…
(Chorus — emotional / light belt)
I love you in a way I can’t explain,
Like summer light pouring through the rain,
You’re every dream I can’t outrun,
But I’m not the only one…
(Chorus — layered / stronger)
So I’ll keep you safe inside my chest,
Even if I’m not the one you get,
In another life you’d stay—
But in this one… you slip away…
(Verse 2 — intimate)
Your fingertips brush past mine like a secret,
Close enough to almost ignite,
And I hold my breath just to keep from breaking,
While you’re holding onto someone else tonight—
I memorize every glance that you give me,
Even the ones that aren’t meant for me,
Cuz loving you feels like falling in slow motion,
Into something I’ll never be…
(Pre-Chorus — stronger)
If I could rewrite fate in the dark,
I’d carve my name into your heart…
(Chorus — bigger)
I love you in a way I can’t replace,
Like constellations I still chase,
You’re every wish I can’t undo,
But I’ll never have you…
(Bridge — soft to explosive)
If I whispered it under my breath…
Would it change anything at all?
Or would you just smile like you always do—
And let my whole world fall…
(Breakdown — screamed, emotional)
I’D SET MYSELF ON FIRE JUST TO BE YOUR LIGHT—
JUST TO BE THE ONE YOU HOLD TONIGHT!
BUT I’M JUST A SHADOW IN YOUR EYES—
A “MAYBE” THAT YOU LEFT BEHIND!
(Final Chorus — layered, emotional peak)
I love you more than words can say,
But words are all that I can’t say,
You’re every piece I’ll never keep,
A promise I can’t complete…
(Outro — soft, fading)
So I’ll love you quietly…
Like you never loved me…
