[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] In a crowded room where music filled the space, She moved like light, a vision full of grace. Gold in her hair, a sapphire in her sight, She stole the air and turned the dark to light. Soft as a summer's touch I couldn't hold, Everything I dreamed, in skin and gold. But standing near, I faded out of view, Just a shadow next to all she knew. [Pre-Chorus] I tried to speak, but words dissolved in air, My heart was screaming, silence kept me there. Though inches away, a universe apart, A distant world I couldn't even start. [Chorus] Too bright for me, too far out of my reach, I watched in silence, bound by what she'd teach. Hypnotized, my confidence was gone, Fearing she'd never care as time moved on. Too rich for me, a height I couldn't scale, Hiding behind myself, afraid to fail. Yet through the quiet hours of every night, She was the only thought in sight. [Verse 2] Twenty-two and sixteen, worlds away, Boundaries between us every single day. Yet silent eyes spoke secrets in the room, Two hearts reaching through the gathering gloom. We'd talk, we'd search, we'd fight just to draw near, Masking the love we held so deep in fear, Arguing on purpose, playing a part, Just to deny the falling of the heart. [Pre-Chorus] Sleep slipped away as nights turned into days, Her face was drifting through a endless haze. And even when the room was empty and bare, She was the only vision standing there. [Chorus] Too bright for me, too far out of my reach, I watched in silence, bound by what she'd teach. Hypnotized, my confidence was gone, Fearing she'd never care as time moved on. Too rich for me, a height I couldn't scale, Hiding behind myself, afraid to fail. Yet through the quiet hours of every night, She was the only thought in sight. [Bridge] What if I'd simply stepped into the fire? Ignored the distance and the foolish fear? Maybe we would have burned in reckless light, Instead of staring softly through the night... [Chorus] Too bright for me, too far out of my reach, I watched in silence, bound by what she'd teach. Hypnotized, my confidence was gone, Fearing she'd never care as time moved on. Too rich for me, a height I couldn't scale, Hiding behind myself, afraid to fail. Yet through the quiet hours of every night, She was the only thought in sight. [Outro] Now years have passed, she's gone, I'm still the same, Though memories still echo with her name. A dream without a wake, a distant star, And I, a sun that never shone that far.
