If I ever knew you I’d say you never moved You stood for something quiet And never had to prove I see the way you love me Without a single word The world can turn its back But your voice is always heard No going back to nothing You give me all I need No flash, no empty promise Just strength beneath the speed You hold the space around me Like air I never missed If I ever knew you I know I always did You never asked for answers You just met me where I fell Not a savior, not a shadow But you carried me as well You walked beside the silence Like it mattered what it said No fear in being quiet No need to rush ahead No going back to nothing You give without a name I used to run in circles Now I walk into the flame You’re not behind or after You’re in the life I live If I ever knew you I know I always did
