[Verse 1] I saw you standing by the window, the rain a curtain behind your eyes. You said, “I’m fine,” but the silence folded, like a paper crane that never flies. A half-smiled mask, a trembling shoulder, the echo of a door that never closed. I’m just a passer-by, a stranger, watching the night rewrite your ghosts. [Pre-Chorus] Your voice cracks like thin ice underweight, a whisper that trembles in the cold. I reach, but I can’t pull you back the light you left is already old. [Chorus] And I see it now, the damage in your soul, a scar that never heals, a wound that won’t close. You’re crumbling like paper in the rain, and I’m just a stranger watching your pain. Hold my hand, let the tears fall free, a river that knows no shore. I’ll stand here, even if you can’t see, because love aches even more. [Verse 2] Every laugh you wear is a coat of paint, covering the rust of a broken core. You dance on the edge of your own heartbreak, but the floorboards creak beneath the roar. I watch the shadows stretch across your ceiling, the dust settle on the shelves of your past. You’re a house with the doors all bolted, but the wind still finds a way to blast. [Pre-Chorus] Your voice cracks like thin ice underweight, a whisper that trembles in the cold. I reach, but I can’t pull you back the light you left is already old. [Chorus] And I see it now, the damage in your soul, a scar that never heals, a wound that won’t close. You’re crumbling like paper in the rain, and I’m just a stranger watching your pain. Hold my hand, let the tears fall free, a river that knows no shore. I’ll stand here, even if you can’t see, because love aches even more. [Bridge] If I could gather the fragments of your heart, I’d stitch them into a constellation, a map for you to find the way back home, where broken isn’t the only translation. [Outro] And maybe one day, the glass will mend, the cracks will shine like silver threads. Until then, I’ll hold this view, a quiet witness to your stead. [end]
