Alice

[Verse 1]
When the walls closed in around me
And the noise got way too loud
You never asked me questions
You just let the silence talk
I would lay my head beside you
Let the whole world fall apart
You had a way of breathing
That slowed down my reckless heart

[Pre-Chorus]
No grand advice
No grand design
Just your steady presence next to mine

[Chorus]
Alice…
You were where I’d run
When the night got heavy
And I came undone
Alice…
You didn’t try to fix me
You just stayed
And somehow that was enough

[Verse 2]
I’d come home worn and restless
Carrying storms inside
You’d meet me at the doorway
Like you always knew the tide
I swear you felt the breaking
Before it reached my skin
You’d pull me from the ledge
Without asking where I’d been

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No judgment in your eyes
Just something wild and kind

[Chorus]
Alice…
You were where I’d run
When the night got heavy
And I came undone
Alice…
You didn’t try to fix me
You just stayed
And somehow that was enough

[Bridge]
They say love can’t be that simple
It’s never black and white
But you were never complicated
You just made it right
No promises forever
No diamonds, no demands
Just a quiet kind of rescue
With the touch of your small hands

[Chorus] (Soft)
Alice…
You were where I’d run
When the night got heavy
And I came undone
Alice…
I still listen for you
In the dark
Like you’re somewhere near

[Outro]
Funny how something so small
Could hold my whole world still
Now the quiet’s so loud
I swear I hear you still

[Final Verse]
If you can hear me somewhere
I hope you know I tried
I’ve walked these halls a thousand times
Calling into the quiet
Your name still echoes off the walls
Like it’s waiting for reply
And I’d give anything just once
To hear you answer mine
I never got to thank you
For the nights you pulled me through
For every storm I weathered
Just because I had you
If you’re lost, I hope you’re safe
If you’re scared, I hope you’re warm
And if there’s any mercy in this world
I hope you know you were my calm in every storm
