Lyrics

Verse 1
He told a story 'bout the gas station mess
Cards locked out, just a weekend stress
Laughed it off like he always does
But I saw the weight he tried to brush

Fumbling through a wallet full of years
While hiding something behind those cheers
And I stood there quiet, just soaking him in
Not the joke — but the man within

Pre-Chorus
He's got silver threads hiding in the black
Signs that time won't give us back
And every laugh he lets slip through
I feel the clock — and I feel the truth

Hook (repeating structure):

Do you see the way he hides it?
Do you hear the silence breaking?
Do you feel the years behind him?
Do you wish that time was faking?

Do you see the way he’s shining?
Do you know what he’s not saying?
Do you feel the weight I carry…
every time I see him fading?

Verse 2
Ten years left, or maybe less
I count them down with soft regrets
He's the calm in my haunted storm
But who will be that when he’s gone?

I see the cracks he tries to hide
And I would carry them if I could try
But all I do is stand and care
Breathing in the way he’s there

Hook (repeating structure):

Do you see the way he hides it?
Do you hear the silence breaking?
Do you feel the years behind him?
Do you wish that time was faking?

Do you see the way he’s shining?
Do you know what he’s not saying?
Do you feel the weight I carry…
every time I see him fading?

Bridge
Sometimes I wanna freeze the time
Lock him in a frame of light
Not 'cause he’s perfect — but because
He’s the only place I feel enough

Final Chorus
When he laughs, I come alive
But inside me, something cries
Not 'cause I’m weak — but 'cause I feel
That love like his is far too real

When he laughs... I know I’ll grieve
For every moment he has to leave
But for now, I hold it tight
His voice, his smile, his flicker of light
