[Verse 1] There’s a crack in the morning where your name used to be, Coffee grows cold on the counter, time won’t look at me. Photographs whisper but won’t say when, Your eyes know me, your mouth won’t bend, I stand in the doorway of yesterday, holding a love that can’t explain. Pre-Chorus] You reach for a word, it turns into air, But your hand still finds mine like it knows I’m there. [Chorus] I’m standing on the edge of dementia, Where the map falls out of your hands, Where truth isn’t facts, it’s a feeling, And love still understands. You’re not gone—you’re just changing channels, Between the then and the now, On the edge of dementia, I see you somehow. [Verse 2] You call me by your sister’s name, Then laugh like you caught a joke, The world comes back in fragments, Like letters you never wrote. You tell me stories out of order, But the heart beats clean and true, And every time you say “I’m scared,” I hear how much you still feel too. [Pre-Chorus] The rules dissolve, the clock gives up, But your tears still taste like love. [Chorus] I’m standing on the edge of dementia, Where memory learns to fly, Where the mind lets go of the story But the soul won’t say goodbye. You’re not lost—you’re just unanchored, Drifting soft somehow, On the edge of dementia, I see you now. [Bridge] Maybe we are more than our remembering, More than names and lines, Maybe we’re the warmth in the room When the words fall behind. If identity is just a coat we wear, Then you’re lighter without it on, Still here, still real, still breathing, Even when the mirror’s gone. [Break (soft, almost spoken)] If you forget the world, I’ll be the world for a while. If you forget your story, I’ll remember your smile. [Final Chorus] I’m standing on the edge of dementia, Where fear and grace collide, Where love doesn’t need explaining And time loosens its tie. You’re not broken—you’re becoming Something quieter, somehow, On the edge of dementia… I see you. I see you now. [Outro] And when the last word disappears, And silence fills the room, I’ll sit with you in that silence— Because love still knows what to do.
