[Verse 1] I guessed her story from the way she sat, Ease of a woman who’s done with all that. She caught my glance but didn’t look away, Like she’d already chosen how this might play. She had the kind of quiet you don’t disturb, A stillness that bent every word. Her kind of quiet shakes the room, Like thunder disguised as perfume. [Chorus] I didn’t want love, I didn’t want grace, Just the warmth of her embrace. I know that ache, I’ve worn that face, Loneliness is a holy place. We didn’t promise, we didn’t plead, We just became what we both need. Maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s grace, Maybe we’re mirrors in the same place. [Verse 2] She saw right through my practiced line, Still let her hand fall close to mine. She knew it’d end before it began, Still smiled like she had a plan. She’s teaching me with every sigh, How to touch someone who won’t cry. Every man’s past in the curl of her smile, I hadn’t felt human in a while. [Chorus] I didn’t want love, I didn’t want grace, Just the warmth of her embrace. I know that ache, I’ve worn that face, Loneliness is a holy place. We didn’t promise, we didn’t plead, We just became what we both need. We’ll trade no vows, we’ll leave no mark, Just light a match inside the dark. [Verse 3] Call it nothing, call it night, Call it mercy, call it right. We don’t have to mean a thing, Just breathe between the suffering. Don’t stay the morning, don’t call it wrong, This isn’t forever, it’s just a song. We both know what this is for, A night, a breath, a closing door. [Bridge] Some lessons you learn in her kind of light, She looked like forgiveness tonight. [Chorus] We didn’t promise, we didn’t plead, We just became what we both need. When morning came, she didn’t stay, Forgiveness doesn’t work that way. [Post Chorus] And when the morning broke apart, I felt her hand still on my heart.
