Lyric

I keep counting days like lights in the dark

I smile, but something trembles inside

I say I’m fine and I turn away too fast

But my heart stays where you are

I’m afraid of words I can’t define

Every answer slips away

If life is only borrowed time

Tell me what I should save

After dozens of nights

I try to line up “I love you”

But the words fall short

They always do

After dozens of nights

I reach for something true

Not perfect or complete

Just honest with you

I wanted to be brave, but I hesitate

I change my mind like shifting skies

I wake from dreams where you’re not there

And feel the fear I try to hide

Some nights I’m selfish, some nights I’m small

I don’t know what love should prove

But when you stay, the room feels real

Like morning breaking through

After hundreds of nights

I try to line up “I love you” again

Still not enough

Still reaching for your hand

After hundreds of nights

I ask for something to believe

A fragile truth

That lets me breathe

Don’t leave me

You were the only one who heard my quiet voice

My tears turned into echoes

I hope they didn’t hurt your heart

After thousands of nights

I’ll line up “I love you” for real

Not just to be heard

But to let you feel

After ten thousand nights

So I won’t forget this view

All that I am becoming

I give it to you
