歌詞

I watched the screen

Light up then fade

Counted the seconds

You left unnamed

I did not need

A vow in the dark

Just one small sign

I crossed your heart

A message back

Before I slept

A promise held

A detail kept

Your eyes on me

When I went quiet

A little proof

You did not deny it

I hated how small

The wanting became

Too little to mention

Too real to tame

If I had asked

It would not be the same

Care turns different

When you have to name it

I was not asking

For forever

Not a grand love

Not some perfect weather

Just a softer look

A call returned

A door held open

A lesson learned

Just my name kept

Somewhere in your chest

Just a little proof

I was not a guess

I was not asking

For forever

They were only

Small requests

You did not break me

In one clean line

You missed me slowly

One piece at a time

Forgot the story

I told you twice

Changed the subject

When I went quiet

You said you cared

And maybe you did

But care without shape

Can feel like a trick

I made excuses

Soft as a prayer

Then hated myself

For needing you there

The smaller the thing

The harder to say

A little attention

Can sound like a claim

If I had asked

Would it come back true

Or only arrive

Because I showed you

I was not asking

For forever

Not a grand love

Not some perfect weather

Just a softer look

A call returned

A door held open

A lesson learned

Just my name kept

Somewhere in your chest

Just a little proof

I was not a guess

I was not asking

For forever

They were only

Small requests

Maybe the smallest things

Were the hardest to name

Because wanting them out loud

Made me feel ashamed

I did not need

The whole sky changed

Just one small mercy

That came unarranged

A text before midnight

A hand that stayed

A look that noticed

What I could not say

I wanted care

Before the test

Wanted love

In ordinary evidence

I was not asking

For forever

Not a grand love

Not some perfect weather

Just a softer look

A call returned

A door held open

A lesson learned

Just my name kept

Somewhere in your chest

Just a little proof

I was not a guess

I was not asking

For forever

They were only

Small requests

The room is quiet

The phone is still

I wanted little

And I want it still
