In the pause indie pop

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You arrived at a strange time, The right kind of wrong, Wrong kind of right. A whisper in the middle Of my life’s loud unfolding. I didn’t chase it, And yet, it followed me still, In dreams and in silence, Against my own will. [Verse 2] I’ve built a life—a real one— With laughter, love, and grace. But you lived in the pause, In the unspoken space. Sometimes I wish we had tried. But maybe we did— Not in the light, Only in the almost, Only in the ache. [CHORUS 1] In the pause, in the maybe, In the almost that shaped me. Not in the plan, but etched in my skin, You’re the door that stayed open Long after I went in. I loved you, Not loud, but real, In a way only absence can feel. [Verse 3] You taught me that longing Can be its own kind of light, That not every love Needs a room to be right. And if we were only meant To remember, not hold, Then know I remember With a heart that still folds. [CHORUS 1] [Bridge] And I bless you now, Where you stand— With another’s heart, In another land. But part of me still holds the space Where your name never quite erased. [Final Chorus] In the pause, in the maybe, In the quiet that remade me, You were the echo, I was the flame, And neither of us left quite the same. I loved you, Not loud, but true, In the pause where I still return to you.
