Lyrics
[Intro]
I know the shape of your silence
The pause before you say my name
[Verse 1]
You leave your coffee by my notebook
Sugar on the rim, two spoons beside
We talk like nothing here is dangerous
While every honest word stays locked inside
You tell me who you’re trying to become
I tell you where the old roads bend
Then your hand finds mine beneath the table
And we both pretend it’s only friendship
[Pre-Chorus]
If timing were a door, we’d have a key
If wanting made a right, you’d be with me
But love can wear a promise like a chain
And I won’t turn your peace into my pain
[Chorus]
I love you where I cannot hold you
Close enough to feel, too far to choose
You love me too, and that’s the cruel part
Two careful hearts with nowhere to move
So I’ll be the one who lets you go
Before our sweetest truth becomes a wound
I love you where I cannot hold you
And I’ll carry that love out of the room
[Verse 2]
Your laugh still catches in the doorway
When you’re late and blaming every train
You ask me if I’ve met somebody
I say, “Not one who knows me like your name”
We trade our dreams like borrowed jackets
Warm for a night, returned by dawn
There’s a life that keeps appearing
In the spaces where we don’t belong
[Rap Verse]
Look, I could make a case, lay the evidence down
Every midnight message, every time you come around
Every “be safe” hiding something neither one will say
Every almost-kiss we folded neatly away
But I know the cost of getting what we crave
Sometimes love means leaving someone brave
Not because the feeling faded, not because we don’t care
But because the road ahead has someone waiting there
So I’ll smile when you tell me that you found your home
Even if the quiet follows when I walk alone
You can keep the best of me, I won’t ask for it back
I’ll be grateful for the fire, even living with the ash
[Chorus]
I love you where I cannot hold you
Close enough to feel, too far to choose
You love me too, and that’s the cruel part
Two careful hearts with nowhere to move
So I’ll be the one who lets you go
Before our sweetest truth becomes a wound
I love you where I cannot hold you
And I’ll carry that love out of the room
[Bridge]
Maybe in another season
No vows waiting on the line
Maybe we would need no reason
Maybe your hand would stay in mine
But this is now, and now is tender
So I’ll leave before we break
I would rather miss you gently
Than possess you by mistake
[Final Chorus]
I love you where I cannot hold you
Still, your name feels easy in my mouth
You love me too, and that’s the cruel part
Some doors open only to lead out
So I’ll be the one who lets you go
With every good thing you gave me understood
I love you where I cannot hold you
And I hope somebody loves you like I could
[Outro]
If you ever wonder where I went
I’m somewhere learning how to stay kind
You were never mine to keep
But you’ll always be mine to remember
