Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He walks into my court—no crown, no chains
Just quiet eyes that measure the pain
I used to stand where the danger was mine
Back when the risk was clean—defined

[cut]

现在不一样了
(This time… it’s different)
What I lose—
Is not just mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Every word here bends like a blade
Every smile is carefully made
I should feel steady—I should feel sure
But something in me wants more…
[hard shift]
可我不确定
(But I’m not certain)
Not anymore

[Chorus]
He stands in my court like a rising tide
A challenge I once would have chased with pride
我在这里，却不只是我
(I’m here… but it’s not just me anymore)
The weight has changed—
The cost has grown
Not my life alone
And I remember the first time still
When only I paid for every will
现在不一样
(This time is not the same)
Too many lives in the game

[Verse 2]
I thought I had learned to see through lies
Through shifting masks and painted skies
But she fooled me once—Isolde’s hand
And I paid more than I planned
(低声)
信任—太容易破碎
(Trust… breaks too easily)
I learned that lesson the hard way

[Pre-Chorus 2]
He offers answers wrapped in calm
A quiet storm inside his palm
I feel the edge—I feel the pull
But nothing here is safe or full
[sharp cut]
他说的每一句
(Every word he says)
都值得怀疑
(Worth questioning)

[Chorus]
He stands in my court like a rising tide
Not here to kneel—just here to decide
我必须更清醒
(I must stay sharp)
I cannot fall
Not this time—
Not with them all
And every step could break the line
Between their fate and mine

[Bridge]
If I trust him—what do I give away?
If I don’t—who pays the price today?
[break, quieter]
我还在这里
(I’m still here)
But not alone
This burden’s grown

[Final Chorus]
He stands in my court like a rising tide
And I can’t hide what I feel inside
我必须选择
(I must choose)
No room to bend
This time—
I protect them to the end
And even if I doubt the ground—
Even if I’m not fully sound—
I won’t let this fall apart
I’ll carry it—
With all my heart
