Verse 1 I stood beside the edge of sight when everything slowed down. Your breath was thin, the night stood still, no sirens, no sound. A fragile line between two worlds, you barely crossed the floor. I didn’t know what waited there, I only knew: no more— —no more words, no questions left, no fear I could explain. Just stillness settling in your eyes like a soft, unfamiliar rain. Pre-Chorus I didn’t follow where you went, I stayed where time still moves. But something opened in that space I never meant to lose. Chorus I watched you let the ground fall quiet, watched the dark let go. You touched a place I’ll never see, but now I somehow know: Some nights don’t come to take a life, they come to give it back. You returned with something calm the rest of us still lack. Verse 2 No visions, no confessions made, no answers carved in stone. Just the sense the world is wider than the parts we call our own. Your hands were shaking, mine were not, but still I felt the change. Like standing close to open sea without the urge to brave— —the waves, the pull, the endlessness, the promise to dissolve. I learned that not all distances are meant for us to solve. Pre-Chorus 2 You crossed a line I didn’t dare, and still you didn’t fall. Whatever held you in that dark was gentle after all. Chorus I watched you let the ground fall quiet, watched the dark let go. You touched a place I’ll never see, but now I somehow know: Some nights don’t come to take a life, they come to draw a line— between the fear we live inside and something more benign. Bridge (sehr reduziert, fast schwebend) There are places we don’t enter, only learn to understand. Some infinities are carried back in someone else’s hands. Final Chorus (offen, getragen) You touched the dark and didn’t break, it didn’t ask for more. Since then I know what silence is, what breathing’s for. I stayed behind, but I was changed by what you made it through. The world is wider than I thought because of you. Outro Where silence held you, I learned to stand.
