WE ARE STILL HERE
[Female — Soft]
Ahh… ahh…
Some love never gets spoken…
[Male — Verse 1]
I came to a new country, a brand-new start,
Walked into that classroom, never knowing your heart.
Then I saw your face across the room,
Grade seven, and my whole world moved.
We danced, we laughed, we stayed out late,
Cooked together, talked about everything.
Grade eight, grade nine, then grade ten,
I loved you more, but called you a friend.
[Female — Soft Echo]
Some hearts speak without a sound…
Some words never make it out…
[Male — Chorus]
I loved you in silence, year after year,
Standing right beside you, keeping you near.
You called me your friend, I played my part,
While every little moment stayed inside my heart.
[Arabic violin + oud]
[Male — Verse 2]
Then school was gone and life moved on,
But somehow what I felt stayed strong.
I’d see you in dreams, I’d see you around,
And every time, my heart came back around.
Then I saw you with somebody new,
And finally knew what silence could do.
I couldn’t blame you—you weren’t mine,
I never asked you to wait all this time.
[MUSIC CUTS]
[Male — Whisper]
You didn’t break my heart…
[Pause]
[Male — POWERFUL]
I BROKE IT EVERY TIME
I LOOKED AT YOU AND SAID NOTHING!
[ARABIC VIOLIN + DRUMS EXPLODE]
[Male]
YOU MOVED ON…
BUT PART OF ME NEVER LEFT THAT CLASSROOM!
[Female — Emotional Vocal]
Ahhh… ahhh…
[Male — Quiet]
Now some nights I ride past your street,
Motorcycle humming underneath my feet.
I see your window glowing from the road,
Then keep on riding—you’ll never know.
Sometimes I see your life across my screen,
And suddenly I’m seventeen.
Maybe you knew. Maybe you never did.
That’s one answer I’ll never get.
[Female — Soft]
Some love becomes a memory…
Some love never says goodbye…
FINAL — BOTH TOGETHER
[Both — Soft]
We were young, we were afraid,
And one silence changed everything.
[Music builds rapidly]
[Both — POWERFUL]
WE NEVER HAD OUR LOVE,
BUT THE FEELING NEVER DIED!
[Male]
You kept living…
[Female]
The years kept moving…
[FULL ARABIC ORCHESTRA — BOTH]
AND SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART,
WE ARE STILL HERE!
[Arabic violin + oud fade out.]
