[Intro — a cappella, same tense texture as Track 2] It's still there. It hasn't looked away. [Verse 1 — a cappella, voice trembling] I don't know what I'm supposed to do when something finally sees me clear. Do I run? Do I stay standing? Do I let it get too near? [Pre-Chorus — a cappella, breath held] And then it moved. Not fast. Not loud. Just closer. Just enough. [The Reach — instrumentation fades in here: single low cello note] And he sat down beside me. Didn't ask me to explain. Didn't need my whole story. Just stayed there in the rain. [Chorus 1 — soft percussion joins, voices steadier] He didn't fix me. Didn't save me. Didn't rush the dark away. He just sat with what was breaking and made it easier to stay. [Verse 2 — full pop-group texture now, warm harmonies] No one tells you that you're lonely till someone shows you what it's not. No one tells you it's a person, not a lesson to be taught. [Final Chorus — full arrangement, restrained, tender not triumphant] He didn't fix me. Didn't save me. Didn't rush the dark away. He just sat with what was breaking... and I'm still here today. [Outro — voices settling into quiet harmony, instrumentation fading softer, not out] Still here. Still here. ...still here.
