Lyrics

[Hook 1]
Would it help if I stayed?
Would it count if I prayed?
Would you feel less alone... if I just don't walk away?
Would the quiet mean peace?
Would your breathing find ease?
If only silence spoke louder — then maybe you'd see me.

[Verse 1]
I see it in your stare, that weight you never name,
Heavy in the air, but you never play the blame.
I stand beside the storm, just hoping I can hold,
Whatever breaks inside you, even if I’m not told.

I ain’t here to fix it, I ain’t here to press,
I’m just here to witness what your heart suppress.
And every time you drift, I feel it in my chest,
Like your silence is a message that won't let me rest.

You ain’t gotta speak, I already hear,
That kind of pain that pulls someone into fear.
I just wanna be the one that makes it light,
Even just for a moment — just for one night.

[Hook 2 – Variante]
Is it okay if I stay?
Even if words slip away?
Can I be your stillness when the world goes grey?
If the silence feels right,
Then I'll stay through the night.
No questions, no pressure — just hoping you’re alright.

[Verse 2]
You lean into the quiet like it’s all you’ve ever known,
But I’ve seen that kind of silence — it cuts to the bone.
And I’ve been on that edge where the calm feels cold,
Where peace and pain are tangled and stories go untold.

You don’t have to hide, I’m not here to break the wall,
I’m the shadow at your side when you feel too small.
I don’t need your reasons, don’t need you to explain,
I just wanna be shelter when you’re standing in the rain.

And if the weight returns when I’m gone again,
Just know that I carry part of your pain.
Even when I smile, even when I joke —
I feel your silence like cigarette smoke.

[Hook 3 – Letzter Refrain, emotionaler Höhepunkt]
If I could take some away,
If I could borrow your grey,
Would it make your light just a little less afraid?
I don’t need to be seen,
I don’t need to be heard,
Just know in the silence, I’m speaking without words.

[Bridge]
I’d sit through the storm, if it means you'll rest,
Trade my calm for your chaos — give you my best.
Even if you never tell me what’s wrong,
I’ll stay in the quiet, holding on strong.

[Outro – gesprochen oder geflüstert, ruhig und offen]
You don’t have to talk.
You don’t have to smile.
I’m already here.
I’m not going anywhere.
Even when it's quiet…
I’m still with you.
