[1] Where shadows fall and no one stays, He walks like flame through rain. She doesn't try to catch his fire — Just warms her hands in pain. [2] Her silence doesn’t beg or break, But calls him like the tide. And he, all thunder, leans to hear The hush she holds inside.
[chorus]
You don’t hold me, still I stay, In the hush that burns away. No light to tame, no words to claim — Just your fire, just my flame.
[3] She doesn’t ask for mercy, He never offers lies. In what they lose, they find a ground Where nothing needs disguise. [4] She's wind behind a locked-up door, He's storm on open land. But when they meet, it’s not to hold — Just walk with empty hands.
[5] She doesn’t fight his hunger, But lets it breathe near her. He sees the calm beneath her ribs And learns what feels like cure. [6] If she fades into the silence, He’ll go that quiet way. For even love — when deep enough — Can lead you to the grey.
[7] He watches where she disappears, But never pulls her back. He’s not her light. She’s not his shield. Still, nothing do they lack. [8] She speaks in shade and twilight, In echoes made of air. He hears her most when no one does — As if she’s always there.
[chorus]
You don’t hold me, still I stay, In the hush that burns away. No light to tame, no words to claim — Just your fire, just my flame.
[9] She draws no lines around him, She gives no rules to stay. But still he comes, and lays his fire Where she has cleared the way. [10] She doesn't shine — she softens. She’s not the spark, but coal. She warms him from the inside out And never takes control.
[11] He rages through the daylight, She waits beneath the moon. They never say what ties them close — But silence hums the tune. [12] She feels what he can’t carry, He holds what she lets go. And in the hush between their names, They let the wild flow.
[13] She walks in dust and memory, He dances in the now. But when their steps fall into sync, Time forgets the how. [14] She sees behind his fire, To places built from grief. Not to mend, or even hold — Just brush them like a leaf.
[chorus]
You don’t hold me, still I stay, In the hush that burns away. No light to tame, no words to claim — Just your fire, just my flame.
[15] He’s not her storm, she’s not his peace, But something in between. Where fury slows, and silence sings Of all that might have been. [16] They promise nothing, name no path — But meet where dusk has bled. And in the ash of all they were, They walk on words unsaid.
[17] She doesn’t ask him where he goes, He doesn’t ask to stay. They find each other in the pause That night brings to the day. [18] She isn’t made for conquest, Nor he for soft retreat. But in the dark, they find a rhythm That doesn’t skip a beat.
[chorus ]
You don’t hold me, still I stay, In the hush that burns away. No light to tame, no words to claim — Just your fire, just my flame.
