[Intro]
Verse 1
0:19
Morning light… across your face
0:19
Familiar love… a steady place
0:23
You reach for me… I’m lying still
0:28
But something in me… never will
0:33
Pre-Chorus
0:37
I tried to stay… inside your arms
0:37
To quiet down… the distant call
0:42
But every night… it comes again
0:47
A softer voice… that pulls me in
0:52
Chorus /
0:57
Hook
0:57
I love you… don’t think I don’t
0:58
But there’s a place… I go when I won’t
1:01
Stay in the moment… stay in the truth
1:04
I close my eyes… and I leave you
1:08
I love you… I wish that I knew
1:12
Why I go… where I go… when I leave
1:15
Verse 2
1:25
It starts as just… a passing thought
1:25
A quiet pull… I never fought
1:30
A different life… a different air
1:35
A version of me… waiting there
1:40
Pre-Chorus 2
1:44
No name, no face… just how it feels
1:44
More like a dream… than something real
1:49
But every time… I drift away
1:54
It’s harder now… for me to stay
1:59
Chorus /
2:05
Hook
2:05
I love you… don’t think I don’t
2:06
But there’s a place… I go when I won’t
2:08
Stay in the moment… stay in the truth
2:11
I close my eyes… and I leave you
2:15
I love you… I wish that I knew
2:19
Why I go… where I go… when I leave
2:22
Bridge
2:25
What if the dream… is more than a lie?
2:25
What if it’s where… I’m more alive?
2:30
What if the truth… I’m scared to say
2:34
Is I’m already… halfway away?
2:38
Break
2:44
(soft, almost spoken)
2:44
I’m here… but I’m not
2:47
You feel it… don’t you
2:49
Final Chorus / Hook
3:04
I love you… don’t think I don’t
3:06
But I’m not someone… that I can hold
3:08
Between the real… and what could be
3:11
I’m fading into… what I can’t keep
3:15
I love you… but it’s not enough
3:19
To make me stay… when I’m already goneSo when you wake… and reach for me
3:22
You’ll find the space… I used to be
3:28
No sound, no fight… no last goodbye
3:30
Just empty sheets… and a quiet lie
3:33
