You were the one who found me first〜愛と友情の間で

[Verse 1 | soft emotional ballad, intimate female vocal, close-mic breath, ambient piano, warm pad] New school morning, pale hallway light I was a silence learning how to hide You said my name like you already knew How to pull me back into something true My heart was winter, quiet and small You touched the dark and I felt it thaw 笑って　「だいじょうぶ」って You found me there And from that day, I breathed your air [Pre-Chorus | humming, airy layered hums, floating reverb] Mm-mm-mm, ah-ah Mm-mm-mm, ah-ah-ah Your voice still lives in me Mm-mm-mm, ah-ah Mm-mm-mm, ah-ah-ah Like light I cannot leave [Chorus | strong ambient a cappella ballad, layered vocal stacks, wide cinematic reverb] You were the one who found me first When I was silence, when I was hurt あなたが私を見つけてくれた And nothing stayed the same Between devotion and a softer flame Between best friend and love without a name 切なさと　ありがとう Still live inside my heart tonight [Verse 2 | emotional ballad, soft piano + ambient strings, restrained aching vocal] Years kept moving, but not that thread Not the words we buried and never said You walked ahead where the brave ones go I stayed beside you, learning your glow Every tired smile, every breaking day Made me want to guard your light, your way ねえ　この想いは何？ I never knew But every road kept leading back to you [Pre-Chorus | humming, layered female hums, intimate echo] Mm-mm-mm, ah-ah Mm-mm-mm, ah-ah-ah In the space I cannot name Mm-mm-mm, ah-ah Mm-mm-mm, ah-ah-ah You still burn the same [Chorus | strong ambient a cappella ballad, choir-like vocal doubles, emotional sustained notes] You were the one who found me first When I was winter, when I was cursed あなたが私を見つけてくれた And taught my heart to stay Between devotion and a softer flame Between best friend and love without a name 愛と友情のあいだで I still choose you anyway [Bridge | octave breath, whispered low octave + airy high octave, suspended emotional tension] (Ha-aah... ha-aah...) If I call this love, will it change your eyes? If I keep it hidden, does it stay alive? I hold your name like rain-lit fire Like gratitude, like ache, like quiet desire [Short Chorus | a cappella ballad, exposed vocal, intimate] You were the one who found me first That truth alone still fills the earth あなたが私を見つけてくれた So even sorrow feels like grace [Final Chorus | strong ambient a cappella ballad, soaring layered harmonies, cinematic reverb bloom] You were the one who found me first Through all my silence, through all my hurt あなたが私を見つけてくれた And gave my lonely heart a place Between devotion and a softer flame Between best friend and love without a name 切なさも　愛しさも I’ll carry all my life Because you found me Because you saw me Because you stayed 愛と友情のあいだで I am still here Still thanking you in light
