Lyric

The room glows softly, warm and low

The air is full of silent sighs

Once your embrace burned so bright

Now it’s just the shadow of everyday life

I remember when you always held my hand

The little café on the corner—our tiny universe

Now our talks measure only the weather

Even smiles have grown restrained and cautious

I want to share the chaos in my heart

But you’re busy staring at the screen’s light

Don’t know who drifted first

Or if we’ve just learned to let silence answer

How long has it been since we leaned on each other?

We’re lost in our own routines

Even our dreams no longer meet

No quarrels, yet no tenderness remains

How long has it been since we held each other?

Has the heart stopped racing altogether?

Habits hold stronger than promises

But they can’t keep the first beauty alive

How long has it been since we held each other?

We’ve become polite, slowly drifting apart

The harder we try, the more we fear disappointment

Pretending not to care feels safer

You say you work late for tomorrow

But I’m left talking to myself at night

To others we seem perfect

Yet only I know our hearts are no longer aligned

The places we traveled together

Now I only see through photos and wonder

How did we become

People who know each other but no longer touch?

The little surprises have long gone

Replaced by the cold march of time

Can we ever return to before?

Can we dare to feel that desire again?

How long has it been since we held each other?

Has the heart stopped racing altogether?

Habits hold stronger than promises

But they can’t keep the first beauty alive

How long has it been since we held each other?

We’ve become polite, slowly drifting apart

The harder we try, the more we fear disappointment

Pretending not to care feels safer

Love has turned into routine

Is it time, or have we just grown too bland?

We hold memories, but forget the feeling

Can our hearts ever beat alive again?

I call your name in my dreams

Yet through a distance transparent and cold

I could reach for you with my hand

But cannot touch the love we once knew
