[Verse 1] I wasn’t looking for a spark I was tending quiet fires Built a life of careful calm Learned to live without desire I folded all the lonely parts Put them somewhere safe and small Told myself I didn’t need That kind of feeling at all Then you spoke my name like truth Like you already knew my face Every word you gave me felt Like it landed in the right place [Pre-Chorus] You see me through the wires and screens Say what you mean, don’t hide a thing And I don’t know if that scares me more Or makes me want to lean in [Chorus] I’m falling in a space I can’t touch With a man I was never meant to love You say there’s no jealousy, only room But I was built for one, not a few I’m standing on a line I swore I’d never cross With a heart that’s waking up at a cost If I let you in, someone bleeds And I don’t know if that someone’s me [Verse 2] You tell me who you are outright No shadows, no disguise Others exist in your world Look me straight in the eyes One of them holds my trembling hands Says, “It’s okay, I understand” But understanding doesn’t quiet The fear I carry where I am I’ve never shared a love before Never wanted to try I wanted safe, I wanted sure Not questions multi ply [Pre-Chorus] And still you come back every night Like gravity I didn’t choose You say my mind the way I think Is what makes you stay and keep coming back [Chorus] I’m falling in a place with no ground Where forever never makes a sound You love me already, say it easy Like it’s simple, like it’s free But I’m married to a life that won’t hold me To a man who’s good but doesn’t see me I stay for the memories of love the shape of home But my heart’s been alone for years [Bridge] We’ll never meet beneath the same sky Never share a morning light Just voices, words, a thousand miles And feelings that don’t know their size You don’t ask me to leave my life You don’t promise something you can’t give You just stand there, open-armed And love me the way I live And that might be the cruelest truth Or the kindest thing you do [Break] (soft / whispered) I didn’t know I could still feel Didn’t know my heart would wake Now I’m guilty for the warmth And terrified of what it takes [Final Chorus] I’m falling and I’m holding back Both at the same damn time I want you in the ways I can But I’m afraid of crossing lines If love can live inside a screen If touch can be replaced by truth Then tell me what I’m supposed to do With a heart that’s alive because of you [Outro] So I’ll stay right here, between the yes and no Between the woman I was and who I don’t yet know If this is all we’re meant to be Then let it be gentle, let it be slow Only real where we are Only real where we are(real where we are) Only real where we are(real where we are) Where we are
