Lyrics

Verse 1

You don’t look at me the way you used to

Your hands don’t ask, your eyes don’t stay

We share a name, a house, a history

But somehow love slipped far away

I dress myself for nobody now

I speak, but you don’t hear a sound

I’m standing right in front of you

Still feeling like I can’t be found

Pre-Chorus

Then there’s a voice that says my name

Like it still matters, like I still flame

Chorus

There’s someone who wants me, who sees my face

Who tells me I’m beautiful, not just in place

While my husband looks right through my skin

Like the fire we had has worn too thin

I’m scared I’m losing who I am

Trying to be the wife I planned

I don’t want to run, I don’t want to fall

But I can’t survive feeling nothing at all

Verse 2

He was my first love, a long time ago

Back when I was young and hopeful

I wanted him then, he turned away

I learned how to hide the pain

Now years have passed, and here he stands

Looking at me like I’m still the plan

And it breaks my heart how timing lies

He wants me now — when I’m already tied

Pre-Chorus

I never asked to feel this torn

Between what is and what was born

Chorus

There’s someone who wants me, who pulls me close

Says all the things you never chose

He makes me feel alive again

And I hate myself for letting him

I’m scared I’m losing who I am

Caught between a ring and his hands

I don’t want to cheat, I don’t want to lie

But I’m slowly dying in this life

Bridge (ruhig, fast geflüstert)

If I had been wanted back then

Would I be standing here like this?

Or is this just a cruel reminder

Of everything I missed?

I’m faithful on paper, broken inside

Smiling for the world, losing the fight

Last Chorus

There’s someone who wants me, and I feel seen

And I don’t recognize the woman in me

I’m trapped in a love that forgot my name

Still playing this perfect, silent game

I’m scared I’ll lose myself for good

If I stay where I never felt understood

I don’t know which way my heart should go

I just know I can’t live like this anymore

Outro

I’m not asking to be saved

I just want to feel chosen…

Before I disappear.
