[Female Vocals] She stands by the window, tracing the rain Says, "I feel more lonely than when I'm alone. You were right here in this room, but you were miles away. And a silent heart's the coldest place I've ever known." She turns to face him, tears upon her cheek "I can't keep fighting for a voice I cannot hear. This isn't a goodbye, it's just the air I need to breathe, I'm not leaving you, I'm just leaving all this fear." [Female Vocals] So let's take a break, let's press pause on the pain I need a moment to remember my own name. And I know you're hurting, but I'm hurting too, 'Cause I was fighting a ghost, and the ghost was you. [Male Vocals] He crosses the room, his head hanging low "I know I built these walls, I know I locked you out. But every battle that I fought, I fought to keep you safe, From the storm inside my head I couldn't figure out." He reaches for her hand, his voice is rough and raw "Those demons in the dark, they were whispering my name. I was trying to be your shelter, to be strong and sure, But I got lost inside the fortress I became." [Male Vocals] You say take a break, but a break feels like an end. Don't we stand together, don't we try to mend? I was fighting my demons, I was trying to be brave, I never meant to make you feel like you're the one I couldn't save. [Female Vocals] Why didn't you let me in? Why did you think you had to win? I didn't need a soldier, I just needed my best friend. This weight you're carrying, you don't have to bear it all alone. [Male Vocals] I thought my silence was a shield, I thought my pain was mine to hold. I was so scared that if you saw the cracks, you'd let me go. I was trying to fix the broken parts before they broke us too. Can we please just fix this now? I'm right here, talking to you. [TOGETHER] [Female Vocals]: You say let's work through it, but the silence left a scar... [Male Vocals]: I'm tearing down the walls, I'm showing you who you are. [Female Vocals]: I need a little time... {Male vocal]: I need you here with me... [TOGETHER]: Can we find a way between the person you needed and the man I tried to be? (OUTRO) [Female Vocals] : Just promise me this time... you won't disappear. [Male Vocals] : I'm right here. I'm right here.
