Silent Echoes in Neon

Lyrics

【Intro】 No sound No warning You crossed the line without a trace I should’ve looked away I should’ve let you fade 「ふうん。好きにすれば？」 That’s what I said That’s not what I meant 【Verse 1】 I learned to live where nothing moves No open doors, no borrowed truths Names disappear, and faces change So I stopped asking them to stay No expectations, no regret Nothing to lose, nothing to protect I kept the silence under control Never gave anyone enough to hold Then you arrived without a sign Stepped through every warning line You never asked me to explain You simply stayed through all the rain I told myself you’d disappear Like everybody else from here But every time I closed my eyes Your shadow waited in my mind 「興味ない。どうでもいいでしょ」 I said it like it could be true But every careless word I threw Was only meant to hide from you 【Pre-Chorus】 Don’t call my name I might look back Don’t come too close I might forget how to detach I know the safest thing to do Is leave before I care for you 「これ以上、近づかないで」 Please don’t listen Please come closer 【Chorus】 Stay out of my heart Stay out of my mind I was fine before you arrived Don’t make me feel Don’t make me choose I have no defense when it comes to you I say, “Go away” But I count every step I act like I’ve already learned to forget If you turn around If you call my name I know I’ll follow you again No reason No warning No way to stop this silent impulse 「君じゃなくてもいい」 It has always been you I just don’t know how to say it 【Post-Chorus】 Stay Don’t stay I’ll lie either way Leave Don’t leave You know what I can’t say Close Too close I feel you under my skin This is where the silence ends 【Verse 2】 Every movement measured clean Every weakness stays unseen I never strike without a cause Never hesitate, never pause I know the distance, know the pace Know every angle, every escape Nothing reaches me unless I decide to let it in But when the danger turned to you My body moved before I knew No calculation, no command Just your heartbeat near my hand I crossed the space without a thought Broke every rule that I was taught For someone I don’t claim to need You’ve become my only instinct 「守ったわけじゃない。邪魔だっただけ」 That answer sounded good enough Until I saw you look at me Like you could see behind the words I wasn’t being kind I wasn’t playing brave I just couldn’t stand the thought Of being one second too late 【Pre-Chorus】 Don’t ask me why I have no lie That sounds convincing anymore I built these walls I locked the door You’re standing closer than before 「理由なんて聞かないで」 Because the truth Would give me away 【Chorus】 Stay out of my heart Stay out of my mind I was fine before you arrived Don’t make me feel Don’t make me choose I have no defense when it comes to you I say, “Go away” But I count every step I act like I’ve already learned to forget If you turn around If you call my name I know I’ll follow you again No reason No warning No way to stop this silent impulse 「君じゃなくてもいい」 It has always been you I just don’t know how to say it 【Bridge】 The room is still The night is cold You’re close enough for me to know One word from me Could make you stay But silence has always felt safer that way 「僕のそばにいても、何もないよ」 But I want you here When there is nothing No fight to win No blood still running I want your voice Without a reason Your quiet breath In every season I want the days I never wanted The useless talks The broken mornings I want to know You’ll still be there When I have nothing left to share 「僕を信じないほうがいい」 I need you to Even when I don’t 【Build-up】 Don’t disappear Don’t fade away Don’t make me say what I can’t say Don’t turn around Don’t close the door I never wanted someone more 「勝手にすれば？」 Choose me Choose me Even if I never ask Hear me Hear me Underneath the words I use I don’t know love I don’t know how But I know I need you now 【Final Chorus】 Stay inside my heart Stay inside my mind You were there before I realized Make me feel Make me choose Let me become someone different with you I say, “Go away” But I’m asking you to stay Every cold reply means the opposite today If you turn around If you call my name I’ll stop pretending I won’t change No reason No warning I won’t deny this silent impulse 「別に、君が必要なわけじゃない」 I need your voice I need your light I need to know you’re here tonight I don’t need love To have a name I only need you not to fade Stay close Stay real Stay where I can reach you I won’t say it twice So listen carefully It has always been you 【Outro】 「待ってないけど」 I was 「会いたくなかった」 I did 「もう帰れば？」 Please stay Just for tonight
