Intro [whispered]
Mm…
Between you and me
there’s too much silence.
Verse 1 [spoken]
I learned how to love with shaking hands,
built walls just to not lose what I had.
Your name stayed, even when you left,
like a quiet thought I can’t forget.
Alone together in empty rooms,
waking up from dreams that end with you.
I gave you my heart without a shield,
you held it close — but couldn’t stay with me.
Pre-Chorus [half-sung]
And I ask myself tonight,
do you still feel me
when the world goes quiet
and nothing speaks?
Chorus [sung]
’Cause I love you softly, even when it hurts,
I carry your face in everything I learn.
Between love and pain there’s just one breath,
and I’m standing here alone with the ache of missing you.
Verse 2 [spoken]
We were wrong at the right time,
too much feeling, not enough space.
Sometimes closeness cuts deeper than goodbye,
when you stay until you fade away.
Your laughter’s still stuck in this door,
every night I talk to you once more.
You don’t hear me, but I still believe
somewhere you remember me.
Pre-Chorus 2 [sung]
If you ever ask me
what survived from us,
I’ll say: everything…
and somehow nothing.
Chorus [sung]
’Cause I love you softly, even when it hurts,
I carry your face in everything I learn.
Between love and pain there’s just one breath,
and I’m standing here alone with the ache of missing you.
Bridge [whispered / spoken]
Maybe you were never my forever…
but you were my real.
And that makes letting go
so damn hard.
Final Chorus [sung – STRINGS ENTER softly halfway]
I still love you, even if you won’t stay,
I let you go, but never felt okay.
If longing had a place I could run to…
it would always
lead me back to you.
Outro [spoken, piano + fading strings]
Love…
doesn’t leave.
