[Intro – airy pads, quiet inhale]
Hey…
I still hear you.
[Verse 1 – soft, emotional]
I still feel you when the room feels gentle,
Like your calm stayed behind with me.
I catch myself speaking slower now,
Like I learned it from watching you breathe.
I know it looked like I moved on easy,
Like my heart didn’t hesitate.
But leaving something safe is scary,
And I carried that every day.
[Pre-Chorus – tender realization]
You never chased, never pulled my hand,
Never made me choose in fear.
You loved me in a way that let me grow,
Even when it cost you being near.
[Chorus – soft but emotional]
I heard it anyway,
All the things you never said.
In the way you stepped back gently,
In the space you left instead.
If loving me meant staying quiet,
I felt that every time.
I heard it anyway—
You were mine.
[Post-Chorus – breathy hums]
Mm…
Yeah…
[Verse 2 – reflective, grateful]
I see you in the way I love now,
In the patience I didn’t have before.
You taught me what it feels like
To be safe, not owned.
I wish I knew how to thank you back then,
When I was learning who I was.
You were steady when I was shaking,
And I never forgot that part.
[Pre-Chorus – emotional lift]
I hope you never think you failed me,
Or that you weren’t enough.
You were the reason I believed in love,
Even when leaving felt rough.
[Chorus – fuller, warm sadness]
I heard it anyway,
Every quiet way you cared.
In the way you let me walk away,
Knowing you’d still be there.
If you ever doubt what we were,
Please believe me when I say—
I heard it anyway,
And I stayed.
[Bridge – stripped, honest]
Some people teach you how to love,
Even if they don’t stay long.
You were never just a moment,
You were a part of me all along.
[Final Chorus – emotional resolution]
I heard it anyway,
And I carry it with me still.
Not as regret, not as pain,
But something gentle and real.
If our lives never meet again,
If time pulls us apart in lines—
I heard it anyway…
And you were mine.
[Outro – pads fade, soft breath]
Take care…
Always.
