[Intro – piano doux, très intime] (soft breath) I didn’t know… I was waiting for you… [Verse 1] I was walking through my days half awake Chasing things that never really stayed Every road felt empty, every night the same Till I heard them whisper your name And in a room filled with fragile light You arrived and changed my life One single cry, and the world made sense In the space of your first breath [Pre-Chorus] And I swear, in that moment I knew Everything I was led me to you [Chorus] Romane… you’re the light I never saw The reason every broken piece feels whole If I did one thing right in this life It was loving you with all my soul Romane… you’re the meaning in my days The truth in every word I couldn’t say You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve known And I’ll never let you face the world alone [Verse 2] I watch you grow with a fearless heart Little hands reaching for the stars And I wish I could freeze every frame Keep you safe, keep you unchanged But the world you’ll see is not always kind There are storms you won’t outrun If I could, I’d rewrite all its flaws Just to give you a softer sun [Pre-Chorus] And it hurts knowing one day you’ll see All the things I wish couldn’t be [Chorus] Romane… you’re the light I never saw The reason every broken piece feels whole If I did one thing right in this life It was loving you with all my soul Romane… you’re the meaning in my days The truth in every word I couldn’t say You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve known And I’ll never let you face the world alone [Bridge – piano seul + voix fragile] If the world gets heavy on your heart And you don’t know where you belong Close your eyes, I’m never far You’ve been my home all along I’m sorry for the weight you’ll feel For the shadows I can’t hide But you carry something real A fire no dark can ever deny [Final Chorus – montée émotionnelle] Romane… you’re the best of everything All the love I never knew I had You gave meaning to my life that day And nothing will ever feel as big as that Romane… when the world tries to break you down Remember who you are, stand your ground You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve known And my love will follow wherever you go [Outro – doux, presque parlé] (soft piano fades) The day you came… My life began…
