My heart was beating with no guide Dreams too big to hold inside One look and everything changed A brand-new world I couldn’t explain I stepped forward, then pulled away Drawn to the fire, scared to play No rules, no map, no safety net Just a place where I got lost instead One step ahead, then into the void Wanting to feel… but scared to be destroyed Like it was love Like I had found what I was dreaming of A rush, a fall Something bigger than me after all Like it was love But I knew nothing, I was still not enough Just learning how to fall… Not knowing if I’d rise at all Your hands on me, the world went still A moment frozen against all will I gave it all, I dropped my guard A piece of forever… in something fragile and hard We burned so fast, we felt so alive Two souls dancing on the edge of time I thought I knew what love could be But love’s never where you think you’ll see We played grown-up with fragile hearts Promised forever before the start Like it was love Like nothing could ever break us apart We screamed it loud Just to drown out the cracks in our hearts Like it was love We built a future soft as a dream But time came through… And showed us what it really means Days turned into the same old lines Shorter words, longer silences We still loved… just not the same Like strangers trapped inside a name Less of the spark, more of the count Keeping score of what we lost Habits replaced the fire we had And love faded slow… from good to bad We got lost without a sound Always later… never now Like it was love But without the thrill, without the rush Just something that stayed But didn’t mean that much Like it was love But empty of what made it real We let it slip… Without trying to heal Then one word… one line too far Everything broke, right where we are “Forever” turned into “we were” And the future blurred into a blur I picked up pieces of who I’d been In a silence I’d never seen And I learned that love… Isn’t a promise, it’s a road you’re in That was love too The crash, the burn, the point of view Something that breaks But forces a change inside of you That was love too Not the end, just something new And even on my knees… Life keeps moving through I keep walking, not the same Less naive, but still in the game If love comes back one day somehow… I’ll fear it less… But I’ll still ask how
