[Verse 1]
You saw the storm behind my smile
Didn’t push, just stayed a while
You heard the silence breaking loud
But never asked me to come down
You read the static in my stare
Like you knew the hurt was there
You let the moment pass, not fix
And somehow, that’s what made it click
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t save me with a word
But you were the loudest silence I ever heard
[Chorus]
I was chasing heartbeat ghosts
Felt alive when I hurt the most
Longing just to not long anymore
Breaking down behind a locked door
You didn’t try to make me whole—
You just stayed - 
and that saved my soul
[Verse 2]
You never asked for a reason
Didn’t label it a phase or season
You stood in the fire I made
Let the ashes fall where they may
You didn’t need to know the cause
You just stayed through every pause
When the weight crushed all my sound
You were the stillness I never found
[Pre-Chorus]
You didn’t save me with a word
But you were the loudest silence I ever heard
[Chorus]
I was chasing heartbeat ghosts
Felt alive when I hurt the most
Longing just to not long anymore
Breaking down behind a locked door
You didn’t try to make me whole—
You just stayed -
and that saved my soul
[Gitarrensolo – intensiv und emotional, verbindet verzerrte Riffs mit melodischen Phrasen]
[Bridge - Das Tempo verlangsamt sich leicht, mehr Betonung auf Klavier und Gesang, die Intensität steigert sich]
You didn’t speak, but I heard you say:
“You don’t have to bleed to prove your pain.”
And I’ve been searching every day
For someone who would stay that way
I used to think I needed fixing
That silence meant I was missing
But you showed me how to stay
When all the light had drained away
No questions - No demands.
Just presence - when I couldn’t stand - 
When I couldn’t stand...
[Chorus – Gesungen, zunehmende Intensität]
I was chasing heartbeat ghosts
Felt alive when I hurt the most
Longing just to not long anymore
Breaking down behind a locked door
You didn’t try to make me whole—
You just stayed - 
and that saved my soul
[Final Chorus – Intensivste Version, volle Gesangskraft]
I was chasing heartbeat ghosts
(Didn’t know which hurt me most)
But now I see what I ignored—
I needed less - not something more
You didn’t pull - you didn’t pry
You stood beside me - asking why not try?
[Outro]
You didn’t pull - you didn’t pry
You stood beside me - asking why not try?​​
