Sometimes the hardest words to say… Are the ones we feel the most. Sometimes two hearts are speaking… But neither one hears the other. I’m singing this to you across the quiet in between, Words getting tangled in the spaces we don’t speak. I say “I’m fine,” you hear “we’re breaking,” You say “give me time,” I hear you leaving. We’re speaking hearts but using different tongues, Turning minor chords into songs unsung. Every good intention slips right through our hands, We’re close enough to touch but still don’t understand. Lost in translation, caught between the lines, Reading into shadows, missing all the signs. I reach for you, you reach back, but we miss once more, Turning little moments into battles we never fought before. Lost in translation… baby, come back to me, Before the words we never say become our history. I don’t want to lose you in the spaces of our hearts, I don’t want the silence to pull us apart. You read my silence like it’s anger dressed in stone, I read your patience like you’re already halfway gone. We both mean well but we keep missing by a mile, Two open books written in a different style. I want to hold you, but I push when I should pull, We hurt each other ‘cause we care too much to lose it all. Every good intention slips right through our hands, We’re close enough to touch but still don’t understand. Lost in translation, caught between the lines, Reading into shadows, missing all the signs. I reach for you, you reach back, but we miss once more, Turning little moments into battles we never fought before. Lost in translation… baby, come back to me, Before the words we never say become our history. I don’t want to lose you in the spaces of our hearts, I don’t want the silence to pull us apart. Maybe we don’t need another answer, Maybe we don’t need another fight. Maybe we just need to remember What we saw in each other’s eyes. I don’t want to win an argument If I lose the person I love. I don’t want to build another wall When all I wanted was enough. So I’ll listen a little longer, You don’t have to run away. Maybe we were never broken… Maybe we just lost the way. Lost in translation, caught between the lines, Still searching for the truth behind the tears we hide. Two hearts reaching through the distance we created, Trying to find the love we almost traded. Lost in translation… but I still believe, There’s a way back if you’re standing here with me. No more shadows, no more words we leave unsaid, No more losing love because of what we read. Lost in translation… But we don’t have to stay. Two hearts… One language… Love. [END]
