You live, you breathe, you love, you cry Button up your shirt, your shoes, your life Walk the streets, hold the cats, hold your man Smile like somebody who understands You say you’re yourself You say it again Among all your friends Among all those figures You built a shelter high above Far away from fear and love But that moment still burns That night still returns That journey, that spark in the dark You buried the fire but carry the mark And every unanswered ring Still cuts through everything You surrender, you take control Fall apart, then play the role Tell yourself you’re finally free Become the person they all can see Like yesterday, You feel that kiss Sweat and heartbeat in the dark like this Whispers hanging in the attic air Both too scared to let the silence tear You were trembling, you ran away Left him waiting anyway He stood open, calm and true Seeing something good in you You were wanted, loved, admired While panic spread like hidden fire And you shattered what you could not hold Out of fear of being known That moment still burns That night still returns Like a dagger turning slow In the only soul you’ll never let go Now he’s somewhere in the light Holding someone every night And you swear that you’re alright You rehearse it all the time Call his number, hear the tone Sit with ghosts inside your home Count the minutes, count the days Love survives in stranger ways That moment still burns That night still returns That journey, that spark in the dark A life can keep moving and still fall apart And every unanswered ring Means more than anything Like a dagger turning slow Inside the heart you never showed Inside the heart I never showed inside the heart I never showed
