[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You thought I walked away and closed the door,
Ignoring all the love we had before.
I had to fight a war outside the shore,
To build a better life that we could soar.
[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted you to feel unbound,
Although my silent struggles weighed me down.
I had to keep my feet upon the ground,
To bring a safer world where love is found.
[Chorus]
Our loneliness is not the same today,
I didn't leave because I ran away.
I had to build a future where you stay,
While hiding all the tears I had to pay.
I'm fighting through the dark to find my way,
To hold you in my arms and softly say.
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
I left you with the stories that we told,
To chase a dream before our youth turned old.
My nights without your presence felt so cold,
While carrying a secret left untold.
[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted you to feel unbound,
Although my silent struggles weighed me down.
I had to keep my feet upon the ground,
To bring a safer world where love is found.
[Chorus]
Our loneliness is not the same today,
I didn't leave because I ran away.
I had to build a future where you stay,
While hiding all the tears I had to pay.
I'm fighting through the dark to find my way,
To hold you in my arms and softly say.
[Bridge]
[Music swells with emotional strings]
If you are wondering if I am free,
Just know my broken heart is holding plea.
I had to step away to guarantee,
A path that brings you safely back to me.
[Chorus Final]
[Music drops to just piano and vocals, building up slowly]
Our loneliness is not the same tonight,
I'm finally stepping back into your light.
I never left you out of my own spite,
I just had to survive the hardest fight.
Now all my broken pieces take their flight,
I'm standing at your door with all my might.
[Outro]
I'm standing at your door with all my might...
I never left your side...
[End]
