Verse 1 — Her
We were young and lit like summer wire
Hands full of plans and borrowed fire
Standing close but looking past
Not knowing what we built would last
Life got loud and days got fast
Love went quiet under the tasks
Side by side but worlds within
Two hearts talking under the din
Verse 2 — Him
I saw you there but couldn’t reach
Didn’t have the words to speak
Held it in, played it strong
Didn’t know where I went wrong
Watched the distance slowly grow
Didn’t know how to let it show
But even when you walked away
I never felt you leave completely
Chorus — Together (harmonies)
We were never truly gone
Just hidden under what went wrong
Love stayed breathing under the noise
Under the hurt, under the voice
Lost in the dark but tied in thread
Every road curved back instead
Now I see you — clear and close
Come here — let me hold you close
Verse 3 — Her
Years went wide, I had to roam
Learn to stand and be my own
Heal the parts I kept inside
Meet the truth I used to hide
Verse 4 — Him
I stayed steady, I stayed near
Even through the doubt and fear
Hoped one day you’d turn and see
The door was never locked on me
Pre-Chorus — Split lines
Her: We were lost —
Him: But not erased —
Together: Just waiting truth to show its face
Chorus — Together (bigger)
We were never truly gone
Time just made our vision strong
Through the breaking, through the years
Through the silence, through the tears
Found again but this time known
Not by habit — but by soul
I see you now — I feel you near —
Come here — I’m right here
Bridge — Call & Response → Harmony
Her: I don’t need the old disguise
Him: I see you now with open eyes
Her: Not the past of who we were
Him: You — right now — right here — right sure
Together:
No more shadows, no more guess
Just your heartbeat in my chest
Final Chorus — Full Harmony
We were never truly gone
Love was here all along
Not by fear and not by role
But by truth and living soul
Found before — now fully seen
Not lost — just in between
Come here now — no space, no years —
I’ve got you
I’m here
Outro — Soft, alternating
Her: Found you once
Him: Found you twice
Together: This time — with open eyes
