Lyric

You looked back

I didn’t

You said my name

Like it might bend

The space between

Where we would end

Your hand half-raised

Then dropped again

Like you weren’t sure

Which side you’re in

The street was quiet

Past midnight

I watched you hesitate

Under the light

You waited for

The usual sign

For me to cross

That fragile line

I don’t stay this time

Not in between what you won’t say

If you want me

You step all in

I won’t stand in borrowed light

I turn around

And end the night

Your phone lit up

You didn’t check

You always pause

At that same second

I used to wait

For you to choose

But waiting only

Meant to lose

I saw it clear

Inside your eyes

You want the warmth

But not the fire

And maybe once

That was enough

But almost love

Is never love

I don’t stay this time

Not in between what you won’t say

If you want me

You step all in

I won’t stand in borrowed light

I turn around

And end the night

You didn’t chase

You didn’t plead

You just stood there

Letting me leave

The engine started

Down the street

For once

It wasn’t me

I don’t stay this time

Still I care

But caring doesn’t

Mean I’m there

If you want me

You come through

No more half-light

No borrowed you

I kept walking
