Lyrics @sakisongs This is Part 1 of the Stories - between Takumi and Kaori Part 2 by Kaori: https://suno.com/song/b3c58e19-01fa-469b-8a23-5127919c07e1 [Verse 1] You carried storms behind a quiet smile, Three years of thunder locked behind your ribs. I thought the calm meant you were healing fine, But you were drowning where the daylight never lived. I saw the truth the night your voice gave in, A shadow that had no right beneath your skin. [Pre‑Chorus] And I’m burning now, choking on the timeline, Wishing I had seen the cracks you hid so well. [Chorus] I hate the way the darkness stole your breath, How it lived in you in silence, left unsaid. Three years gone and I never saw the signs, Now I’m raging at the world between the lines. If I could take the weight you had to bear, I’d tear the night apart to pull you out of there. [Verse 2] You learned to smile with pieces out of place, A masterpiece of pain behind your eyes. I thought the shadows were just passing days, Not battles you were fighting in disguise. And every truth you finally let me see Feels like a wound that should’ve been on me. [Pre‑Chorus] And I’m shaking now, furious at the silence, Wishing I had known the war you walked alone. [Chorus] I hate the way the darkness stole your breath, How it lived in you in silence, left unsaid. Three years gone and I never saw the signs, Now I’m raging at the world between the lines. If I could take the weight you had to bear, I’d tear the night apart to pull you out of there. [Bridge] I can’t rewrite the years you faced alone, But I’ll stand guard now, stronger than the storm. You’re not the blame, you’re not the broken one— The world should’ve shielded you before I ever came along. [Final Chorus] I hate the way the darkness stole your breath, But you’re still shining through the aftermath. Three years lost, but now you’re not alone, I’ll hold the light until the shadows go. If healing takes a lifetime, that’s okay— I’ll stay.
