Verse 1 We don’t speak about what just happened, don’t name the way the light feels wrong. You’re still here beside me— but I know now this place can’t hold you long. The shadows smiled too easily, said your name like they had the right. And something in me broke open— clear and final— you won’t survive this if you stay. ⸻ Pre-Chorus So I move fast. I don’t explain. I turn fear into orders before it turns into your name. ⸻ Chorus This is how I save you— by not asking. By sending you away before the dark learns how close you are. I wrap it in logic, in gold and guards and distance, and swallow every word that would make you stay. ⸻ Verse 2 We never needed promises. We learned each other quietly— hands, laughter, mornings that felt like they could last. Maybe that’s why this works, why it hurts the way it does— love that lives in silence is easier left unsaid. ⸻ Pre-Chorus You look at me like you’re waiting. I look anywhere else. ⸻ Chorus (Held Back) I tell you it’s temporary. I tell you it’s necessary. I tell you everything except the truth beating in my chest. ⸻ Bridge (The Carriage) The wheels are already moving, wood and iron sealing the choice. And standing there, watching you go, I finally hear it— the cost of waiting this long. ⸻ Final Chorus (Confession) So I say it then, when nothing can change. I love you. Not to stop you. Not to ask for anything. Just because it’s true, and I can’t carry it alone. ⸻ Outro You don’t answer. The carriage pulls away, and silence finishes what I started.
