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