[Verse 1] You sleep beside me, calm and still, The world outside forgets to move. But my mind drifts where it shouldn’t go, Back to someone I once knew. The glow from passing headlights fades, Across your face, a fleeting hue. I hear you breathing, soft and low, I feel a different memory coming through. [Verse 2] Outside, the snow begins to fall, It settles on the window’s frame. And for a moment, through it all, I almost whispered that name. [Pre-Chorus] Two hearts beneath a borrowed light, One burns for then, one breathes tonight. [Chorus] And in the dark, the silence knows, The love I lost, the love I chose. Every heartbeat, soft and slow, Carries both — and you don’t know. [Bridge – warm recollection, quiet ache] Old laughter tickling my mind, A summer sun I left behind. I reach for warmth that isn’t there, And touch the ghost of summer air. [Final Chorus – subdued reprise] And in the dark, the silence knows, The love I lost, the love I chose. Every heartbeat, soft and slow, Carries both — and you still don’t know. [Outro – fading reflection] The city hums, the night moves on, I lie awake till almost dawn. I turn away before it shows... Only the silence knows.
