Intro – soft guitar, close vocal] I didn’t mean to say it like that… …or maybe I just didn’t say enough ⸻ [Verse 1 – gentle, reflective] You went quiet when I asked if you were okay I thought I was helping but something shifted in your face Like I crossed a line I didn’t see or opened something you didn’t want from me I replay it now trying to find where it turned ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – hesitant] Was it the way I said your name or the way I stayed too long Was it care… or did it come out wrong ⸻ [Chorus – soft, aching] Somewhere between the lines I meant and what you heard instead Something got lost in translation I was reaching out my hand you thought I pulled away Now we’re standing in two different places Same words… different meanings in our heads ⸻ [Verse 2 – deeper, more personal] I noticed things you didn’t say out loud the way you looked tired the way you held your breath too long I didn’t want to ignore it didn’t want to pretend I didn’t see But maybe naming it made it harder to be ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – slightly fuller] Was it too much, too soon or just not what you needed Was I trying to help when I should’ve just listened ⸻ [Chorus – fuller, emotional swell] Somewhere between the lines I meant and what you heard instead Something got lost in translation I was trying to stay close you needed more space Now we’re both feeling the distance Same moment… but we don’t remember it the same ⸻ [Bridge – stripped, almost spoken] I don’t know how to care the “right” way when every way feels like a risk Say too little— it feels like I don’t notice Say too much— it feels like I don’t trust you So where’s the line between holding on and letting you breathe ⸻ [Final Chorus – emotional but restrained] Somewhere between the lines I meant and what you heard instead We both built different versions I never meant to make you feel like I didn’t understand or like you had to carry it alone Same words… still trying to meet in the middle ⸻ [Outro – quiet resolution] Maybe it’s not about getting it right …maybe it’s just not letting go when it’s misunderstood
