I say thanks

[Intro]
One soft step, then another on the street,
the silence in between feels strangely sweet.

[Verse 1]
You called the dog, I heard “stand guard”,
my breath went short, my shoulders hard.
Your clipped commands cut through my chest,
a racing drum that robbed my rest.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now when the wind slips through the frame,
your shadow shakes, but it’s not the same.

[Chorus]
I say thanks, low in the night,
where you once bit, there’s softer light.
Not who’s right, just one small sign,
I whisper thanks and draw a line.

[Verse 2]
You walked ahead, I trailed behind,
a faithful shadow with a borrowed mind.
Where fear once filled that narrow hall,
now open doors and room for all.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don’t say a word, let quiet speak,
the guard dog sleeps, let the armor creak.

[Chorus]
I say thanks, low in the night,
where you once bit, there’s softer light.
Not who’s right, just one small sign,
I whisper thanks and draw a line.

[Bridge]
I was a fighter, always on,
jaw locked tight till the feeling was gone.
Tonight I drop my helmet down,
and meet your eyes without a frown.
When watchful worry melts to grace,
the old wound finds its rightful place.

[Final Chorus]
I say thanks, low in the night,
where you once bit, there’s softer light.
Not who’s right, just one clear sign,
I breathe out thanks and cut the line.

[Outro]
One slow step, then another, homeward bound,
the space between them holds a softer sound.

Reggaetón duet. Hook refrein.
