[Verse 1] [quietly spoken, trembling voice] I know the sound of your silence Even when you’re miles away I watch the lights from your city Fade into another day [quick instrument break] There’s a word beneath my tongue That I never let escape I carry it through the midnight Like a secret with your name [Pre-Chorus] [slowly ramp up] And you don’t know You don’t know How close you are When you’re so far [Chorus] [big burst into chorus] I love you from a distance Where the truth can’t reach your door I hold you in the darkness But I never tell you more You’re somewhere under the same sky But another world from me I love you in the silence And you’ll never know it’s me [quick cut to silence] [dead silent] [reverse sound to Verse 2] [Verse 2] Your photograph is glowing On a screen beside my bed I could type the words a thousand times Then erase them all instead Maybe love is sometimes waiting Maybe love is letting go Maybe some hearts keep a secret So the other heart won’t know [Pre-Chorus] And you don’t know You don’t know What I would say If you were here today [Chorus] I love you from a distance Where the truth can’t reach your door I hold you in the darkness But I never tell you more You’re somewhere under the same sky But another world from me I love you in the silence And you’ll never know it’s me [Bridge] [Middle Eight / Bridge:Introduce a beautifully contrasting middle eight. Shift into an unexpected chord progression with sophisticated melodic movement, bittersweet harmonies, and a slightly dreamlike atmosphere. Change the rhythmic feel and instrumentation to create a fresh emotional direction. Use layered three-part vocal harmonies, melodic bass movement, subtle orchestral touches, and unexpected chord changes. Build tension and anticipation before seamlessly returning to the original chorus with renewed energy.] If the night could carry messages Across the northern lights I’d send your name through frozen air A thousand times tonight But the signal disappears And the morning comes too soon So I leave my heart unanswered Humming softly in this room [jam hard into chorus, turn up the energy] [Final Chorus] I love you from a distance Like a star behind the blue Close enough to see forever Far enough to never touch you And somewhere under the same sky You are living without me I love you in the silence And you’ll never know... [quite piano chords, softly spoken, trembling vocals] [Outro] You’ll never know... You’ll never know... How much of me Still belongs to you.
