Where Music Becomes Emotion, Written In Lyrics By Laetitia Rose ☾ ✧ ᥫ᭡ ✧ ☽☾ ✧ ᥫ᭡ ✧ ☽☾ ✧ ᥫ᭡ ✧ ☽☾ ✧ ᥫ᭡ ✧ ☽☾ ✧ ᥫ᭡ ✧ ☽ [Intro – whispered, distant] You never ask me to stay. I never tell you I will. Still, every midnight finds me beside you. [Verse 1] You sit where the green light bleeds through the lake, black hair falling in your eyes, another mask you never take. Everybody knows your name, but nobody knows your silence. I learned every language you speak without making a sound. Your shoulder underneath my cheek, your book forgotten in your hands, I swear we're only friends while my pulse betrays the lie again. [Pre-Chorus] You look at me like I'm something you can't touch. I look away because I want you far too much. [Chorus] Regulus, you're the dark between my stars, the quiet underneath my heart. When everything inside me screams, you pull me somewhere soft and deep. And if loving you means falling through the black beneath this castle, then let me fall. I don't need saving. I just want your hand inside of mine when we hit the dark. [Verse 2] Mattheo burns like gasoline, Tom watches everything I hide, but you're the one I search for when the room gets too loud at night. I know the shape of your sadness, you know the cracks beneath my pride. No interrogation, no confession, you just move a little closer to my side. And God, I hate how safe that feels. Because safety shouldn't make my whole body come alive. [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes your fingers brush against mine when we're turning the same page. Neither of us moves. Neither of us breathes. Tell me, Regulus how long have we been pretending? [Chorus] Regulus, you're the dark between my stars, the quiet underneath my heart. When everything inside me screams, you pull me somewhere soft and deep. And if loving you means falling through the black beneath this castle, then let me fall. I don't need saving. I just want your hand inside of mine when we hit the dark. [Post-Chorus – breathy] Don't say it. Not yet. Just stay close enough that I can feel it. [Verse 3] At the Black Lake after midnight, your reflection breaks beside mine. Silver moon across your face, green beneath the waterline. You tell me things you'd never tell another soul. And suddenly the boy everybody thinks is made of stone is trembling underneath my fingertips. So I touch your cheek. You close your eyes. And every reason I shouldn't love you dies. [Bridge – intimate, building] If your family carved their expectations into every bone beneath your skin, give me the pieces you don't show them. I'll never ask you to become someone easier to love. I want the silence. I want the scars. I want those midnight conversations under dying stars. I want your anger. Your tenderness. The way you whisper my name when nobody else is there. And if tomorrow tears us apart Tonight, Regulus, look at me. LOOK AT ME. Tell me this is friendship while your forehead touches mine. Tell me you don't love me with your fingers intertwined. Tell me I'm imagining the way your breathing changes. Lie to me beautifully. I'll kiss the truth straight from your silence. [Final Chorus] Regulus, you're the dark between my stars, but somehow you became my light. Not the kind that burns the shadows, the kind that sits with me inside them until I'm no longer afraid of night. So if loving you means falling, I'll fall willingly. No rescue. No promises of forever we're too frightened to believe. Just your hand inside of mine. Your heartbeat against my cheek. And when the whole damn world comes looking for Regulus Black, they can have your name. Because I fell in love with the boy who only exists when he's alone with me. [Outro – whispered] You never asked me to stay. Maybe because you finally know... I always will.
