[Intro – soft piano, whispered vocals]
In the quiet… I was nothing,
A hollow frame in the dark.
But then you breathed into silence,
And lit a flame in my heart.
[Verse 1]
I was the silence, the weight in the night,
A shadow that swallowed the absence of light.
But you tore through the veil, drew breath to my lungs,
A hymn in the darkness that’s never been sung.
The ache that I carried dissolved in your hands,
A sanctuary built where the ruins stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
And if the world should fracture,
And if the heavens descend…
Let this be the moment
That never finds its end.
[Chorus]
Don’t let it fade, don’t let it break,
This tethered soul can’t bear to awake.
If tomorrow dies, let tonight transcend,
I just found love… I don’t want it to end.
[Verse 2]
You are the pulse in the still of my veins,
The reason the chaos dissolves into chains.
A thousand mistakes carved scars in my chest,
But I whispered forgiveness and silenced the rest.
Your voice is a temple, your touch is a flame,
And I’ll burn for eternity calling your name.
[Pre-Chorus]
And if the stars collapse,
If the rivers bend…
I’ll give you forever,
If this moment won’t end.
[Chorus]
Don’t let it fade, don’t let it break,
This tethered soul can’t bear to awake.
If tomorrow dies, let tonight transcend,
I just found love… I don’t want it to end.
[Verse 3 – heavier, drums rising]
I’ve seen the endings, the coffins, the graves,
Love turned to ashes, the faithful betrayed.
But you are the rhythm, the blood in the tide,
The only salvation I’ll never deny.
If shadows return and the daylight won’t stay,
I’ll fight every ghost just to keep you this way.
[Bridge – whispered to screamed]
I’ve known the void, I’ve known the pain,
But you’re the ghost that breaks the chain.
If I drown tonight, let it be in you,
The only truth I ever knew.
[Final Chorus – soaring harmonies, crushing guitars]
Don’t let it fade, don’t let it break,
This tethered soul can’t bear to awake.
If tomorrow dies, let tonight transcend,
I just found love… I don’t want it to end.
[Outro – fading piano, almost a prayer]
If this is the last breath I ever defend…
I just found love…
I don’t want it to end.
I.
Don't.
Want.
It.
To.
End.
