Only You! (Torn) [“My-Voice” Re-Rendered Edition]

[Verse 1] The miles between us are not just distance— they are caverns carved by time’s cruelty, a horizon I cannot climb, a silence that mocks my every reaching hand. I trace the memory of your smile, but the air offers me only shadows. It is your breath I yearn to hear, songs I will never cradle in my restless night. [Pre-Chorus] Life is a jester, laughing at my longing, dangling what I love beyond the stretch of my grasp. Every road leads away from you, yet my heart still walks them barefoot. [Chorus] It is only you— my lips ache for the kiss they’ll never know. It is only you— the flame I cannot hold, though it burns me whole. It is only you— the soul my soul was written for, but I am torn, I am torn, by the cruelty of distance that will not yield. [Verse 2] I would barter my tomorrow for one more yesterday, where the festival lanterns lit your eyes, and the world, for a fleeting moment, pretended to be kind. Your voice was a cathedral, I lived in every word. Now silence claws at my ribs, a cathedral emptied, echoing loss. [Pre-Chorus] The stars still hang above us both, but they do not bend the sky in mercy. They let me burn, while you shine far beyond my reach. [Chorus] It is only you— the breath I crave like sacred hymn. It is only you— my heart’s unbroken vow in a broken world. It is only you— where my forever has been exiled. I am torn, I am torn, and the wound will not close. [Bridge] If longing were a river, I would drown gladly in its current. If hope were a noose, I would wear it as devotion. If love were a grave, I would lie down singing your name in the dirt. [guitar solo] [Final Chorus] It is only you— my heart belongs where my body cannot follow. It is only you— the kiss denied but carved in my marrow. It is only you— the soul I was written for, but fate has torn, fate has torn me from you. [Outro] And when the night closes in, I do not pray for mercy, I only whisper into the dark: It is only you.
