Du lå der i stilheden, hvor alting blev småt Vinduet åbent, men luften var grå Jeg holdt din hånd, men du slap ikke min Du så ikke på mig, men jeg var stadig din Din brystkasse løfted sig — som for at blive Men luften vendte aldrig hjem Du sagde: “Bare lidt længere…” Som om tid var noget, vi kunne holde Som om kærlighed var nok til at binde Det der ville gå Der var en lyd — en stilhed med vægt En pause der faldt, og aldrig blev væk Jeg sagde ingenting, for hvad skulle jeg sige? Du var her. Og så var du fri Du sagde: “Bare lidt længere…” Og jeg blev, selv da du var væk Som om nærvær kunne redde det sidste Som om jeg stadig kunne nå dig Jeg ved, jeg vil forsvinde i dine dage Som støv du ikke engang opdager Men hvis du lytter i stilheden Er der stadig en rest af mig dér Vi kaldte det kærlighed Men det var tid, vi ikke havde Vi kaldte det farvel Men det var bare et sidste øjeblik Jeg sad ved din side, da du blev stille Du trak vejret ind… Men aldrig ud Og jeg blev Bare lidt længere "Det er okay... du må godt give slip nu." English translation You lay there in the silence, where everything grew small The window open, but the air was gray I held your hand, but you didn't hold mine You didn't look at me, but I was still yours Your chest rose — as if to stay But the air never came home You said: "Just a little longer..." As if time was something we could hold As if love was enough to bind What was bound to go There was a sound — a silence with weight A pause that fell, and never left I said nothing, for what could I say? You were here. And then you were free You said: "Just a little longer..." And I stayed, even when you were gone As if presence could save what was left As if I could still reach you I know I'll disappear in your days Like dust you won't even notice But if you listen in the silence There’s still a trace of me there We called it love But it was time we didn’t have We called it goodbye But it was just a final moment I sat by your side, when you went still You breathed in… But never out And I stayed Just a little longer "It's okay... you can let go now."
