[Intro]
I close the door on the hallway light
Breathing in the quiet, I pretend I’m alright
[Verse 1]
Space around me like a soft, jagged edge
I count the breaths between the crowd’s loud pledge
Shadows lengthen where my footprints fade
I’m learning to be unseen, to stay unafraid
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me drift to a quieter door, please
Where the noise dissolves and I am just me
[Chorus]
Leave me a little space, let me breathe
In this hush I’m choosing to believe
Distance is a shelter, a steady frame
In the stillness I won’t apologize or explain
[Verse 2]
Words come out slower, then fade like dusk
I guard my quiet as if it’s a precious crust
Every hello feels like a flood I don’t invite
I’m building walls with careful, careful light
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me drift to a quieter door, please
Where the noise dissolves and I am just me
[Chorus]
Leave me a little space, let me breathe
In this hush I’m choosing to believe
Distance is a shelter, a steady frame
In the stillness I won’t apologize or explain
[Bridge]
If you listen, you’ll hear my pulse retreat
Not away from you, but toward my own heartbeat
I’m not lonely—I’m choosing the pace
A private map of courage, a gentler space
[Chorus]
Leave me a little space, let me breathe
In this hush I’m choosing to believe
Distance is a shelter, a steady frame
In the stillness I won’t apologize or explain
[Outro]
Quiet remains, a soft, safe shore
I step back gently, I’m here, unseen no more
