wherever you are

Verse I

I didn’t know how to hold what you gave me,

I thought time would always stay,

I mistook silence for comfort

and let my fear get in the way.

It wasn’t a lack of love, I swear it,

it was blindness, I couldn’t see,

one mistake that haunts every night

when your name won’t let me sleep.

Pre-Chorus

If I could turn back just one second,

I’d break my pride before us two,

losing you taught me far too late

everything I had in you.

Chorus (Pop Soul – Breaker)

I’d tear my pride down to nothing,

I’d bleed the truth if that’s what it takes,

I’d fall apart just to hold you again,

I’m breaking every time I say your name.

It was one mistake, not a goodbye,

don’t let our love be the price I pay,

if there’s a heartbeat left for us tonight

please don’t walk away… please don’t walk away.

Verse II

There are pictures that won’t let me rest,

places that still remember you,

I learned love isn’t something you show off,

it’s something you protect… and I didn’t do.

Every “what if” cuts a little deeper,

every memory turns into prayer,

I’m not writing to erase the damage

I’m just asking you to care.

Pre-Chorus

I’m not promising perfection,

I’m promising the truth,

empty hands, an open heart

that doesn’t know how to lie to you.

Chorus (Pop Soul – Breaker)

I’d tear my pride down to nothing,

I’d bleed the truth if that’s what it takes,

I’d fall apart just to hold you again,

I’m breaking every time I say your name.

It was one mistake, not a goodbye,

don’t let our love be the price I pay,

if there’s a heartbeat left for us tonight

please don’t walk away… please don’t walk away.

Bridge

If I’m no longer what you need,

I’ll understand… even if it breaks me,

but if you hesitate just a little

I’m right here, still hoping.

Final Chorus (Lift + Break)

I’d give you the sky, I’d give you my breath,

I’m shaking, I’m begging, I’m scared to death,

say you still feel me when you close your eyes,

say I’m not losing you tonight.

I was wrong, I know, I swear I’ve changed,

don’t let forever slip away,

if you still love me even a little…

stay.
