The Shape My Silence Takes

Verse 1

I held the hours in the hollow of my hands,

Watched them slip like water through the sands.

I asked the sky what makes a moment stay,

It answered with your name, then looked away.

I thought the heart was built to understand,

To draw a straight line through a crooked land.

But love arrived without a map or proof,

And made a question out of every truth.

Pre-Chorus

Maybe we're not meant to know

Why some souls meet, then never let go.

Maybe the answer isn't written above—

Maybe meaning is the wound we call love.

Chorus

You are the shape my silence takes,

The quiet truth my reason breaks.

If all we are is borrowed time,

Then let your heartbeat answer mine.

I don't need forever carved in stone,

I only need to know I'm not alone.

And if the universe forgets our names,

I'll still remember what your love became.

Verse 2

I chased the meaning hidden in the rain,

Counted every loss and called it pain.

Then you looked at me without a word,

And suddenly the silence could be heard.

We spend our lives afraid to disappear,

Building little monuments from fear.

But what if nothing waits beyond the door?

What if being here is what we're living for?

Pre-Chorus

Maybe we're not meant to know

Where every broken piece is supposed to go.

Maybe the road was never meant to bend—

Maybe love is how we make an ending begin.

Chorus

You are the shape my silence takes,

The quiet truth my reason breaks.

If all we are is borrowed time,

Then let your heartbeat answer mine.

I don't need forever carved in stone,

I only need to know I'm not alone.

And if the universe forgets our names,

I'll still remember what your love became.

Bridge

If time is a thief,

Let it steal tomorrow.

If life is a question,

I'll live inside the sorrow.

No promise can conquer

The distance of years,

But your hand in mine

Makes meaning out of fear.

Final Chorus

You are the shape my silence takes,

The quiet truth my reason breaks.

If all we are is borrowed time,

Then let your heartbeat answer mine.

And when the last light leaves the sky,

I won't ask the universe why.

I'll close my eyes with one truth known—

I found a world inside your soul.

Outro

Maybe love was never meant to last.

Maybe it was meant to make us whole.
