(Verse 1)
You came to me in silver waves
Through a screen, through time and space
Didn’t touch me, didn’t try
But you stayed there every night
Your voice felt like a quiet song
Somewhere safe I could belong
While the world I had was breaking slow
You were the one who didn’t know
(Pre-Chorus)
I never told you all my past
Just let your calm erase the cracks
(Chorus)
We were talking on foreign lines
Different worlds, but you felt like mine
Three months wrapped in midnight blue
I was falling without you
Didn’t need your hands to hold
Your words were warmer than his soul
(Verse 2)
He was there, but fading out
Just a shadow filled with doubt
Promises I couldn’t feel
While you were something almost real
Time zones dancing in my head
Good mornings when I went to bed
Every call, I held my breath
Scared of losing what we had left
(Pre-Chorus)
You never hurt me, never lied
But distance has a silent side
(Chorus)
We were living in borrowed dreams
Through the glow of phone screens
I would leave it all behind
Just to make you truly mine
But oceans don’t forgive so fast
Some loves aren’t built to last
(Bridge)
Then you vanished, no goodbye
Just a quiet, endless night
Two weeks staring at my phone
Learning how to be alone
I replay your voice again
Like a ghost I can’t defend
Every word still echoes through
Like I’m still in love with you
(Final Chorus)
Now I’m back where I began
With a ring I didn’t plan
He says everything has changed
And I’m trying to do the same
’Cause I still love him, that is true
But I felt something else with you
So I’ll stay and let you fade
Even if my heart won’t obey
We were only passing lines
A distant love, a fragile time
But somewhere deep I always knew
I’d have to learn to live without you
(Outro)
You were never really mine
Just a dream across the line
And I’ll try to let it go
Even if I loved you so
Selvy
