[Verse 1] I stand at the edge of the ice Cold light, emptied sound I wear the sombrero you warned me about It belongs to me now You moved where the surface was faithful White space, holding fast I spoke like my words were harmless I was wrong about that [Pre-Chorus] I thought the noise was just weather Just heat in the air I didn’t see how a sentence Can harden a stare [Chorus] You were the girl on the ice I was the man with the voice You lived by balance and discipline I treated belief like a choice You were the girl on the ice I stayed warm in my skin With a song and a reckless sombrero I let something break you within [Verse 2] The hat casts a circle of witness On a face I now know I wear it the way you wear silence When there’s nothing to show Your blades cut a language of trust In a place that could fail I spoke into rooms full of echoes And called it a trail [Pre-Chorus] They say no one means for the fire When the sparks leave the hand But I watched how the ice took the weight of it While I stayed where I stand [Chorus] You were the girl on the ice I was safe, I was loud You were living inside every consequence I was living off being allowed You were the girl on the ice I outpaced what I knew With a song and a careless sombrero I said things that finished you [Bridge] If words are a form of motion Then I crossed every line I didn’t push with my body I pushed with my time Take off the joke Take off the claim This is what’s left When the voice signs its name [Final Chorus] You were the girl on the ice You didn’t fall by mistake You were held to a system of balance I tilted with every take I’m the man in the sombrero I wear what I owe Not as costume or courage But so everyone knows [Outro] Cold light No spin No grace Just truth Hat on my head For the life I took
