[intro] Hey you… don’t pretend you can’t hear me I never left… I never leave [Verse 1] I wake inside a quiet that feels too alive Like something underneath me learns how I survive I try to name the silence in my mind But it already knows before I try You don’t knock… you don’t wait You just exist in every state I’ve always been here [pre-chorus] I count my thoughts to keep them still But you move through every will Like you’re the part I can’t erase Like you were born inside my face [chorus 1] Hey you… stay out of sight I can feel you in the night Every breath I try to own You turn it into something known Hey you… I hold the line But you keep crossing every sign And when I think I’m finally free You’re closer than I let you be [post-chorus] Closer… [verse 2] I see your shape in flickering light Between the wrong and what feels right You don’t attack… you don’t break through You just become what I call “true” And I start forgetting what I was before Like I’ve been this forever more You have [pre-chorus 2] I built a mind to hold you back But you learned every crack And now the walls I thought were mine Feel like they were always aligned [chorus 2] Hey you… don’t take control Don’t rewrite what I know But every time I say your name It sounds like we’re the same Hey you… I fight to stay But you pull the edge away And in the space between the thought Is everything I never fought [bridge: breakdown] If I stop resisting you… Do I disappear too? Or am I only real Because you move when I do? You’re asking the wrong question You are not resisting me You are remembering me. me [chorus:] Hey you… hey you, I hear you now Inside every broken vow Every time I try to run You are already the one Hey you… don’t let me go Even if I say so Because every part I thought was mine Was just you learning over time Hey you… I see it clear You were always already here And every breath I try to take Is just a shape you learn to make [outro] Hey you… I was never alone…
