[Verse 1]
I watch you move through daylight
Like you’re made of fragile bone.
Every cough, every quiet sigh
Hits deeper than you know.
I memorize your laughter
’Cause I’m scared it’s running thin—
I hold you like a moment
I’ll never get again.
[Chorus]
And I’m terrified
Of the day you won’t be here.
Of waking up to silence
Where your voice used to appear.
The world keeps turning forward—
But I’m frozen to the thought:
Someday you’ll be gone,
And I’ll be left with what I’m not.
[Verse 2]
Your hands look a little older,
Your steps a little slow.
You say, “I’m fine, don’t worry,”
But the truth is hard to know.
I count the days too closely,
Every sunset feels like loss—
I’m scared of all the endings
That I can’t afford to stop.
[Chorus]
And I’m terrified
Of the day you won’t be here.
Of waking up to silence
Where your voice used to appear.
The world keeps turning forward—
But I’m frozen to the thought:
Someday you’ll be gone,
And I don’t know who I’ll be or what.
[Bridge]
If love could buy you years,
I’d beg time on my knees…
But fear is all I carry,
’Cause none of us are guaranteed.
[Final Chorus]
And I’m terrified
Of losing you too soon.
Of standing in the empty
Where your life once filled the room.
I know I can’t prevent it,
But the fear still lingers on—
Every heartbeat whispers low:
Someday… you’ll be gone.
