Close, Not Trapped

Verse 1 - Lloyd 
You stopped counting exits when I stayed,
Didn't move closer—just didn't fade.
I learned your silence isn't a wall,
It's just a place that learned to crawl.

Verse 1 - Liora
You never asked me to explain,
Never called my caution pain.
You stood there quiet, didn't push,
Like you knew fear listens first.

Pre-Chorus - Both (soft, alternating)
Lloyd: I don't need you fearless.
Liora: I don't need you brave.
Lloyd: Just honest steps—
Liora: —at our own pace.

Chorus - Both (together)
We got close without a name,
No sharp promises, no claims.
Your hand near mine, not pulling tight,
Staying through the longest nights.
We chose this space, we chose this view—
Close, not trapped—
Me with you.

Verse 2 - Liora 
I still wake up ready to run,
Old shadows think they've won.
But when I turn, you're still there,
Not guarding—just aware.

Verse 2 - Liora
I know what Its like to be the mark,
Every villain knows your heart.
If they see you as a prize to break,
I'll be the one who doesn't take.

Pre-Chorus - Both (overlapping)
Liora: I don't disappear now.
Lloyd: I don't chase you down.
Both: We meet in the middle,
Where trust is allowed.

Chorus - Both (stronger)
We got close without a name,
No sharp promises, no claims.
Your hand near mine, not pulling tight,
Staying through the longest nights.
We chose this space, we chose this view—
Close, not trapped—
Me with you.

Bridge - Liora (quiet)
If I freez...

Bridge - Lloyd (quiet)

Bridge - Both (soft harmony)

Final Chorus - Both (full, warm)
We got close without a name,
No sharp promises, no claims.
Your hand near mine, not pulling tight,
Staying through the longest nights.
We chose this space, we chose this view—
Close, not trapped—
Me with you.

Outro - Both (whispered together)
Chosen.
Not owned.
