[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
The sky turns gray, the light fades out
You hide the weight you hold inside
They call your name, they cheer you loud
But never see the tears you hide
You play the part they all believe
The one who never seems to fall
But in the dark, you barely breathe
Like no one hears you when you call
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could reach your hidden side
The place you keep so far from me
I’d stand with you, I would not hide
I’d let you be, just let you breathe
[Chorus]
So I’ll stay here, just out of sight
A distant light you’ve never known
When you are ready for the light
You won’t have to be alone
[Verse 2]
You turn away from gentle hands
Like trust is something you can’t keep
As if no one could understand
The promises you couldn’t keep
But even hearts that won’t give in
Can slowly start to break apart
You don’t have to always win
Or fight alone with guarded heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ll be near, though out of view
Still holding on to what could be
Believing someday you’ll turn to
And finally see and notice me
[Chorus]
So I’ll stay here, just out of sight
A distant light you’ve never known
When you are ready for the light
You won’t have to be alone
[Bridge]
If there’s a line you fear to cross
I’ll wait for you beyond the dark
No matter time, no matter cost
I’ll keep alive this quiet spark
And if your past still pulls you back
And blinds you from the path ahead
I’ll call your name across the black
Until the fear begins to fade
[Final Chorus]
I’m still right here, not far away
Closer than I’ve ever been
When you are ready, don’t delay
That’s where our story will begin
[Outro]
