Every Tear, Every Breath

Verse 1

I watched you fade into the night,

A shadow dancing just out of sight.

I held my tongue, I held my place,

But every thought of you I can’t erase.

Pre-Chorus

I wanted to stay, I wanted to fight,

But I couldn’t be the one to hold you tight.

Chorus

If you ever find this, know my heart never left,

I wrote it down in silence, every tear, every breath.

The world kept us apart, but my soul remembers still,

The nights and whispered promises I never could fulfill.

Verse 2

I traced your laughter in the air,

Every smile, every glance, every stare.

I left my mark where no one could see,

A quiet devotion, a memory of you and me.

Pre-Chorus

I stayed in the dark, I let you go,

But my heart beats your name, more than you’ll ever know.

Chorus

If you ever find this, know my heart never left,

I wrote it down in silence, every tear, every breath.

The world kept us apart, but my soul remembers still,

The nights and whispered promises I never could fulfill.

Bridge

Maybe someday, you’ll understand,

The way I loved you, holding back my hand.

I hid it in shadows, I hid it in song,

But all along, it’s been you all along.

Chorus

If you ever find this, know my heart never left,

I wrote it down in silence, every tear, every breath.

The world kept us apart, but my soul remembers still,

The nights and whispered promises I never could fulfill.
