[Title: “When You Can’t Feel My Hands”]
(Verse 1)
You walk in light that burns my eyes,
The kind of glow that truth can’t hide.
They see you, baby—every face,
And I start drowning in my place.
I smile like I don’t feel the sting,
But inside I’m paper in the wind.
You say I’m strong—I just pretend,
‘Cause I can’t break and still defend.
(Pre-Chorus)
You build your walls from losing nights,
I build mine just to hold you tight.
(Chorus)
When you can’t feel my hands,
They’re shaking just to stay.
I’m trying to love a woman
Who keeps her heart locked away.
I’m not asking for perfection—
Just to know you understand.
Don’t let the fear between us
Take the place where love should stand.
(Verse 2)
I see those ghosts behind your eyes,
They whisper every time you’re mine.
You say you trust, but not tonight—
And I just fade into your light.
Baby, I still believe in us,
Even when the fire turns to dust.
You think I never taste the rain,
But I’ve learned to hide the pain.
(Pre-Chorus)
You fight the past you never chose,
I hold you close, but no one knows.
(Chorus)
When you can’t feel my hands,
They’re trembling for faith.
I’m loving through the silence,
Trying not to lose my place.
I’m not afraid of breaking—
I’m afraid of who I am,
When you can’t feel my hands.
(Bridge)
Maybe we’re just mirrors
Cracked by the same tear.
Loving each other through
The same old fear.
But if you turn away tonight,
I’ll still reach through the fight—
‘Cause I ain’t leaving,
Not without your light.
(Final Chorus)
When you can’t feel my hands,
Just listen to my heart.
It’s bleeding every promise
We made in the dark.
I’m not here to save you—
I just want to stand,
Still loving you completely,
When you can’t feel my hands.
(Outro)
So please baby, feel me
Feel my hands
For they were always yours
Elyai
