Lyric

You were always there, I remember

Even when I didn’t know who I was

You were like a shadow behind me, like armor

But I walked past, never noticing enough

You never shouted, never demanded

Faithful as if you’d lasted centuries

People like you are rare in life

But apparently, I needed… simpler things

You didn’t break me with your words

You just stood there when everyone left

You knew I wasn’t meant for fame

Yet in you, my inner calm had a nest

Inessa… you’re too real

I’m too fleeting, too unreal

You’re a rock, I’m water slipping through fingers

You’re so deep, and I was afraid to linger

Inessa… you’re too real

I’m too fleeting, too unreal

You didn’t leave, but I walked away

I was alive, but I never lived… while you stayed

You never blamed, never pressed me

Just watched, like you knew the end

You said: “You can be strong”

But I chose to vanish in mirrors again

You’re like eternity, I’m a fleeting moment

You’re the light, I’m full of doubt

You didn’t ask, didn’t grab my sleeve

But I felt it each time — my weakness grew

Maybe I was scared of loyalty

Maybe I just hadn’t grown yet

You’re like a temple, a legend, forever

And I… just a passerby, who came and left

Inessa… you’re too real

I’m too fleeting, too unreal

You’re a rock, I’m water slipping through fingers

You’re so deep, and I was afraid to linger

Inessa… you’re too real

I’m too fleeting, too unreal

You didn’t leave, but I walked away

I was alive, but I never lived… while you stayed

Now I see who you were

But, as always, too late — you’re gone from my life

You’re like a story no one reads

Because you’re too true… and I know you don’t forgive
