[Intro]
A soft breath, a clock’s reply
[Verse 1]
It’s not sacrifice, not a badge we wear
It’s two hearts living, turning love to separate words
We learned to say goodbye with care
Finding our names in the spaces between
[Pre-Chorus]
If we hold our breath, can we keep what stays
If distance grows, will trust still light the days
[Chorus]
We choose to stay, though the paths divide
We speak in letters that still feel like a goodbye
Two hearts living, learning how to remain
In every word we write, you’re with me again
[Verse 2]
Morning paints your color on the edge of sight
Your voice is a rumor carried by the rain
I count the hours like beads of light
Hoping mercy finds its way back to our flame
[Pre-Chorus]
If we bend the night to hear each other’s tone
Will two miles become a place we call home
[Chorus]
We choose to stay, though the paths divide
We speak in letters that still feel like a goodbye
Two hearts living, learning how to remain
In every word we write, you’re with me again
[Bridge]
If the world splits, our rhythm stays true
From separate words, we learn the language of you
Patience is fire; our hearts refuse to tire
We’ll map a road where love never expires
[Chorus]
We choose to stay, though the paths divide
We speak in letters that still feel like a goodbye
Two hearts living, learning how to remain
In every word we write, you’re with me again
[Outro]
Until we meet in each line, and finally align
