[Intro] [room hush; breath on mic, one soft key swell] [Verse 1] I saw you once, just a shadow in the crowd. You never spoke— but your silence, it was loud. Others came after, hands I let hold me. But none touched the place I keep for you. [Pre-Chorus] [whispered, drier] I don’t reach, I don’t call— the space is here. Quiet, untouched. Waiting, only for you. [Chorus] [delicate, intimate — single-take + ghost double −12 dB] There’s a place for you, in the quiet. If you never come, it stays— it waits. There’s a place for you. [Verse 2] You looked strong when the world was watching— but I saw it, your quiet heart, hidden. The bravest men keep softness concealed. With me, you wouldn’t have to. [Pre-Chorus] [whispered, very low] I don’t reach, I don’t call— the space is here. Quiet, untouched. Waiting, only for you. [Chorus] [delicate, intimate — single-take] There’s a place for you, in the quiet. If you never come, it stays— it waits. There’s a place for you. [Bridge] [whispered — near a cappella] Even if you never, I’ll keep it undone— like a letter, unsent; like a vow without an end. [Chorus] (final — half-length, closer) There’s a place for you, in the quiet. Always— a place for you. [Outro] [whispered, breathless] Always. A place for you. [End]
