I like

[Verse 1] I like that you’re not sick with love for me, I like that I’m not fevered by your name. That never will the heavy globe of earth Drift out from underfoot in our shared game. I like that I can be a little strange, A little wild, and not weigh every word, And not blush crimson, burning with disgrace, When our sleeves brush as we pass, unheard. [Pre‑Chorus] Maybe this ease is the deepest disguise, Maybe this calm is the hardest of lies. We walk so close, yet the space between us stays, Like a cold wind that never goes away. [Chorus] Because beneath this quiet, something breaks apart, Every unspoken word leaves its mark on my heart. I wear this lightness like a shield I’ve made, But I’m afraid the silence will be my shade. Let them call it freedom, let them praise the view, I’m counting seconds just to feel I’m still true. This fragile balance is the only thing I know, Even if it means I have to let you go. [Verse 2] Thank you, with all my heart and with my hand, For loving me, though you don’t even know How much this means: for peace within my land, For rare encounters when the sunset glows. For walks we never took beneath the moon, For sun that shines above, but not for us, For you, alas, are not consumed too soon, For I, alas, am not your fever and fuss. [Pre‑Chorus] Maybe this distance is the way we survive, Maybe this quiet is the only way we’re alive. We hold this space like it’s something we must keep, While the world outside keeps turning in its sleep. [Chorus] Because beneath this quiet, something breaks apart, Every unspoken word leaves its mark on my heart. I wear this lightness like a shield I’ve made, But I’m afraid the silence will be my shade. Let them call it freedom, let them praise the view, I’m counting seconds just to feel I’m still true. This fragile balance is the only thing I know, Even if it means I have to let you go. [Bridge] We never promised words we couldn’t keep, We never dared to touch what we couldn’t reap. And now this careful distance feels like home, Though I know it’s nothing I can truly call my own. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Because beneath this quiet, something breaks apart, Every unspoken word leaves its mark on my heart. I wear this lightness like a shield I’ve made, But I’m afraid the silence will be my shade. Let them call it freedom, let them praise the view, I’m counting seconds just to feel I’m still true. This fragile balance is the only thing I know, Even if it means I have to let you go. [Outro] Even if it means I have to let you go…
