Verse 1 We don’t touch We don’t say it We let the air do the work Your name stays In my mouth Like a word that could hurt You look once Look away Like you’re trained not to stay I follow the rule Like it keeps us safe Pre-Chorus If this is nothing Why does it leave a mark Why does your silence Sound like my heart Chorus Perhaps it is love In the damage we hide In the space where the truth Never survives Perhaps it is love But we don’t cross the line If this isn’t love Then it’s colder than time (drop – minimal, hollow pulse, vocal fragments) Verse 2 Two lives run Parallel Close enough to feel heat Every gesture Measured Every word incomplete I know you know You know I do We just don’t let it move We call it control Like it isn’t fear Pre-Chorus If this is friendship Why does it freeze my chest Why does wanting nothing Hurt the best Chorus Perhaps it is love In the way we delay In the things we don’t say So we don’t have to stay Perhaps it is love But we never confirm If this isn’t love Then it’s something we learned (drop – bass only, vocals pull back) Bridge (Glitch Section – whispered, looped, distorted) I want to say it I want to say— Ich liebe dich Ich liebe— Ich liebe dich Te amo mucho Te amo— Te amo mucho Break Every look is a leak Every gesture a fault We survive by omission We never let it halt Final Chorus Perhaps it is love But it stays unnamed We choose the distance We choose the same Perhaps it is love And it never arrives If this isn’t love Then it’s how we survive Outro (almost spoken, fading) Two lifetimes Standing still I almost say it I never will Perhaps… Perhaps… Perhaps it is love Perhaps it is love………….
