[Instmental] [Verse 1] We stepped quietly across the threshold, no map in hand, just open hearts. I showed you only an open window, but you saw a place to finally start. We heard the same soft melody, but not at the same time. What felt like breathing space to me felt like a place you called your own. [Instmental] [Pre-chorus] I was still learning how to hold; you were ready to be held. [Instmental] [Chorus] It's such a shame you couldn't carry it, and I was too inexperienced to end it in time. What we encountered there was real, but real still needs some space. Some kinds of closeness are a gift, not a promise meant to stay. [Instmental] [Verse 2] We shared images without language: water, light and unfamiliar lands. I was searching for depth without direction; you were searching for ground to stand on. When I tried to slow the rhythm, you heard 'goodbye' instead. I was only trying to discover how closeness can live without dread. [Instmental] [Pre-Chorus] I saw the question in your eyes; you saw the doubt in mine. [Instmental] [Chorus] It's such a shame you couldn't carry on, and I was too inexperienced to end it in time. What touched us both was honest, but honest doesn't mean forever. Some encounters heal us best precisely because they end. [Instmental] [Bridge] I'll leave you with everything that's yours and gently take my heart back home. It's not out of coldness or blame, but because love has borders, too. Maybe this was only practice for a kinder day to come, when closeness stays without someone losing their way. [Instmental] [Final Chorus] It's such a shame you couldn't carry it, and I was too inexperienced to end it in time. But I keep walking with open hands and softer steps ahead, taking what was good with me and letting go of what we said. [Instmental] [Outro] Some paths are only walked briefly, and still they’re not in vain. I thank you quietly and let you go.
