Sacred wounds

(INTRO – soft piano, light sax breath)
Love begins quietly,
like light resting on skin,
like something sacred
we enter without question.

We hold each other
not knowing
how fragile truth can be.
Some things don’t break loudly…
they shift,
and echo endlessly.

⸻

(VERSE 1 – piano + light guitar)
Be careful when you betray someone,
you don’t just break a moment,
you fracture a soul.

You think it’s small,
just a lie, just a slip,
but inside him
something ancient splits.

You don’t just hurt the man,
you wake the child in fear,
the one who trusted blindly,
the one who held you near.

⸻

(PRE – build guitar + light sax)
Now he doesn’t see you the same,
your name feels different on his lips,
what once was home
now trembles in his veins.

⸻

(CHORUS – full piano, guitar, sax)
Don’t hurt someone you love,
love is more than what you say,
it’s a soul in your hands,
don’t let it break away.

He gave you truth and light,
his secrets in the dark,
you didn’t just lose his love,
you changed who he is at heart.

⸻

(VERSE 2 – piano + sax lead)
He moves like a wounded shadow,
quiet in the room,
like a soul without direction,
learning loneliness too soon.

He hides inside himself,
just to feel safe again,
afraid of touch, of warmth,
afraid of where love has been.

Eyes that don’t accuse,
just question what was real,
because the hands that felt like home
taught him how betrayal feels.

⸻

(PRE – emotional lift)
Now trust is not a door,
it’s a war inside his chest,
he wants to believe again,
but fear outlives the rest.

⸻

(CHORUS – stronger)
Don’t hurt someone you love,
you don’t just leave a scar,
you leave a silent darkness
where their brightest pieces are.

He gave you something rare,
more than time or desire,
a love so pure and loyal,
you chose to break that fire.

⸻

(BRIDGE – piano only)
He still hopes…
and that’s the hardest part.
Not a victim,
just a guarded heart.

Living strong,
but afraid of the light,
holding memories gently
like glass in the night.

⸻

(SAX SOLO – instrumental)

⸻

(FINAL CHORUS – full power)
So don’t hurt someone you love,
because love remembers everything,
it doesn’t fade like words,
it lives in what you bring.

He may heal, he may rise,
learn to breathe again,
but the one who loved you blindly
won’t be the same man.

⸻

(OUTRO – soft piano)
Be gentle
with what is given freely.

Some hearts open once…
and even when they survive,
they remember
who touched them with truth.
