Lyric

Wake up, breathe in, hold on

Don’t fade, don’t fade—

Morning breaks but my hands still shake

Dreams of you I can’t seem to escape

Heartbeat rushing, I still feel yours

Even though it’s gone, even though I’m sure

Tiny warmth sleeping under my chin

Fragile proof of the world you were in

No one knew the price you paid

But I did, yeah— I did

“Good morning,” I try to say

But the words all slip away

Nightmare’s over, but its trace

Stays here in this empty space

Oh, you— no glory, no title to show

No story they’ll write, no statue, I know

But you held up the sky with your quiet hands

And I ran, and I ran, and I ran where you stand

In the glowing white of a newborn sun

A “thank you” whispered and already gone

If the whole world forgets your call

I won’t fall

No— I won’t fall

Still two shadows standing in place

But yours dissolves without a trace

Like a song without a final refrain

Like rain that never learned to rain

History won’t speak your name

So I’ll burn it into my veins

Every kindness you concealed

That’s the part that stays revealed

Oh, no— you weren’t foolish, you were brave

Choosing love with nothing to save

You slipped away before goodbye

So I cry, and I cry, and I cry, don’t know why

Morning melts to a blinding white

I say “see you” instead of “good night”

Though I know you won’t return at all

Still I call

Yeah— still I call

Even if your light dissolves

Even if the world evolves

I will carry every spark

Every ember through the dark

Even if it breaks my chest

Even if there’s nothing left

I keep turning

Burning

Learning

Yearning— for you—

Oh, you— remained the Fool, unseen, untold

No legend cast in marble or gold

But you are the one I cannot release

More than heroes, kings, or priests

With a future breathing in my arms

Safe and warm from every harm

I say “thank you,” soft and slow—

And then once more—

“Hello.”
