Текст песни
It was only a moment, still I was here
But patterns don't wait to make themselves clear
Every story came dressed in grace
Still I saw the cracks in the frame
I loved you without looking away
Saw who you were, not who you'd say
I didn't need time to know
Truth has a way of moving slow
I knew it all from the start
Every fracture, every part
When anyone else would've turned away
I chose to stay, I chose to stay
Each new truth came into view
Still I never turned it back on you
I said nothing, loved you through
Hoping someday you'd see you too
I gave freely, didn't ask why
Knew the reason didn't match the reply
I'd seen what travels when it's shared
What turns to value once it's there
I knew the business, knew the seams
What was sold and what was dream
Behind the numbers, behind the need
I saw the truth you couldn't speak
I could've named it, called it out
Left you standing in your doubt
But love isn't built on leverage
It doesn't make a stage of damage
I knew it all from the start
Every fracture, every part
When anyone else would've turned away
I chose to stay, I chose to stay
Truth kept stacking, line by line
Still I never crossed that line
I said nothing, loved you through
Hoping someday you'd see you too
Someone else knew the roads you'd been on
Spoke your history like their own
We compared the lines, not the blame
Different mouths, the same refrain
I didn't love the stories told
I loved the ache beneath them all
The borrowed pain, the practiced scars
The distance dressed as being hard
If silence meant belief, then I believed past common sense—
That loving enough would make honesty feel safe
I stayed not blind, but choosing love
When knowing would've been enough
It wasn't long, but I knew
Every layer, every truth
I never said I knew the truth
Not to protect me—but you
If silence meant belief, then I believed past common sense
Mistaking restraint for trust and love for proof
I hoped love might make it safe
For you to lay the mask away
