Lyrics
Description
Intro (instrumental, Em → Cmaj7, let it breathe)
---
Verse I
[Lead]
You say I turn away from the damage,
that I leave things buried in the ground.
It feels like you’re already gone
when your eyes won’t meet mine now.
[Lead]
I know you don’t mean to push me out,
I know it’s the hurt that speaks instead.
Still, it feels like I’m watching you
carry the weight no one else would hold.
(No harmony yet — keep it naked)
---
Verse II
[Lead]
So many were lifted before you,
so many voices found their way.
You stayed quiet in the corner,
hoping someone would hear you break.
[Harmony – very soft, on last line only]
(hear you break)
---
Verse III
[Lead]
You’ve lived inside this cage so long
it feels like comfort wearing thin.
Hands you never asked for
decided where your life begins.
[Lead]
I see it flicker in your eyes —
that moment you’re almost done.
And I’m terrified because I don’t know
how to stop the damage once it’s begun.
---
Pre-Chorus
[Lead]
You don’t want the world to change,
just the weight inside your chest.
One day without the ache,
one night where you can rest.
[Harmony – subtle thirds, last two lines]
(inside your chest)
(you can rest)
---
Chorus (restrained, not explosive)
[Lead]
I don’t want to lose you.
The brakes are gone.
We’re drifting further
from where we belong.
[Harmony – enters halfway, airy]
(don’t want to lose you)
[Lead]
I’m scared of where we’re headed,
but I’m still holding on.
---
Verse IV
[Lead]
Maybe I’m selfish —
I’ve carried that thought for years.
But I would shoulder your sorrow
until it hollowed me out from here.
[Lead]
I’d take the nights that won’t stay silent,
the memories that won’t release.
If it meant you could sleep
without fighting what you see.
---
Bridge (drop instruments back, emotional core)
[Lead]
I don’t know how to save you.
I don’t know how to mend the past.
All I know is I’m still standing
when everything else has passed.
[Harmony – low octave below, very Opeth]
(still standing)
[Lead]
If we’re off course, then let us be,
lost together in the dark.
(Both – quiet unison)
I’m still here.
---
Final Chorus
[Lead]
I don’t want to lose you.
The brakes are gone.
If this is falling,
I’ll fall along.
[Harmony – fuller but gentle]
(don’t want to lose you)
(I’ll fall along)
[Lead]
I’ll love who you are today,
and who you wake up as tomorrow,
even if all you bring with you
is tired bones and borrowed hope.
---
Outro
[Lead]
You are enough.
As you are now.
Still breathing.
Still here.
[Harmony – final line only, held note]
(still here)
[Lead]
I’m not here to fix you.
I’m here to stay.
(End on unresolved Em → Cmaj7, let it fade)
