Verse 1
I don’t say much
I let it sit
Some truths don’t need a voice
I move through rooms
Like nothing’s wrong
Like I’ve already made my choice
I smile easy
I stay light
I don’t ask you to explain
But there’s a quiet
Following me
That still remembers everything
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I don’t raise the question
I just let it stay
⸻
Chorus
Conscience
Talking low in the background
Like it’s not trying to be heard
Conscience
Saying things I almost missed
Because the sound was beautiful first
(this line is the delayed sting — don’t emphasize it)
⸻
Verse 2
We could go anywhere
That’s what we said
Like distance fixes time
I didn’t chase it
I just watched
As the feeling learned to hide
I kept moving
Kept it clean
Never asked for something more
But some nights
The silence knows
Exactly what I settled for
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I don’t call it regret
I call it grace
⸻
Chorus
Conscience
Still humming underneath it
Like a melody I ignored
Conscience
Telling me the truth so softly
I didn’t feel it till much later on
⸻
Bridge (spoken-sung, barely there)
It wasn’t loud
It wasn’t cruel
It didn’t break me in two
It just waited
Until I was calm enough
To hear it
(instrumental breath — violin carries this)
⸻
Final Chorus
Conscience
I thought I left you behind
But you stayed in tune with me
Conscience
You didn’t hurt me at the time
You waited
Until I was ready to see
⸻
Outro
(long instrumental outro)
I heard it…
Eventually.
