🎶 “I Saw You In Silence”
by Yasmim (inspired by Lana Del Rey)
[Verse 1]
I sat in the front seat just to catch your side glance
Your eyes came like cheap wine, left me in a trance
You called me “lady” with a calm, husky tone
I smiled like I was hiding a heart full of unknown
At the curve of the ride, you looked like you knew
That I was danger wrapped in sweet perfume
And when your hand touched mine, the world froze still
But the next day… you went cold and chill
---
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if you think of me
When you stare at the sky locked in your secrecy
You held my hand but didn’t stay
Why did you walk away?
---
[Chorus]
I saw you in silence, I heard you in absence
Pretended it didn’t hurt, but you know — it hurt intense
You’re my favorite mistake
An old movie I don’t want to erase
I saw you in silence… and you never came back to say a word
---
[Verse 2]
The stories got emptier every day
You left me in the void like I was just a stray
But I still see you in the window’s reflection
You’re the story I never lived but memorized every section
---
[Pre-Chorus]
You desire me but hide behind fear
But I’m a storm — I don’t accept half-clear
You know… if you get close, you’ll burn
But if you stay away… you’ll drown and yearn
---
[Chorus]
I saw you in silence, I heard you in absence
Pretended it didn’t hurt, but you know — it hurt intense
You’re my favorite mistake
An old movie I don’t want to erase
I saw you in silence… and you never came back to say a word
---
[Bridge – whispered, almost a confession]
Do you think of me when you touch her?
Do you feel my end when you close your eyes at night?
You fear me because I saw you true
And that’s… something no one else ever knew
---
[Final Chorus – slower, more aching]
I saw you in silence, I heard you in absence
Pretended I was strong, but I’m still your song
You’re my favorite mistake
The name that lives inside my heart so long
I saw you in silence…
And deep down, I’m still waiting for your hand
---
[Outro – softly]
But maybe… you’ll never come back.
And still… I’m here.
Beautiful.
Expecting nothing.
Feeling everything.
