^{And left behind the trust we used to trust,}

^{My heart still beats your name each day,}

^{Even if you've gone your separate way.}

^{I see your smile from far behind,}

^{It plays like a movie in my mind.}

^{I see your wins, your brand-new dreams,}

^{Even if I'm not there, or so it seems.}

^{I cheer for you without a sound,}

^{While my feet stay rooted on the ground.}

^{I clap for you where no one sees,}

^{And send my prayers on whispered breeze.}

^{It hurts to love when you're not mine,}

^{To watch your life but not align.}

^{But still I choose to hold you near,}

^{In memories I keep so dear.}

^{I hide the ache, I hide the tear,}

^{I smile for you despite the fear.}

^{For even if I'm out of view,}

^{My heart still walks the road with you.}

^{Maybe you'll never truly know,}

^{The way my quiet feelings grow.}

^{But I'll still wish the best for you,}

^{In every little things you do.}

^{And though our story's page has turned,}

^{My love for you has never burned.}

^{It lives in silence, soft and true–}

^{A love that stays, though I can't be with you.}

^{So go ahead, chase what you've planned,}

^{I'll watch you flourish from where I stand.}

^{And even if the distance's wide,}

^{You'll always have me–right here, on your side.}

^{Not from lies I'd never make.}

^{I told you all, the truth laid bare,}

^{Hoping you'd see my heart still there.}

^{I was hurting, not for me alone,}

^{But for the pain your heart had known.}

^{I feared that love would slip away,}

^{That you would choose to walk that day.}

^{And you did–just like my fear,}

^{you turned your back, you disappeared.}

^{Though I had bared the truth to you,}

^{You closed your ears, believed what's new.}

^{What cut me down was not just you,}

^{But how you let their words ring true.}

^{You stood and let them paint me wrong,}

^{While I stayed silent, holding strong.}

^{I never wanted any of this,}

^{No pain, no doubts, no love to miss.}

^{If you had seen inside my chest,}

^{You'd know I gave you all my best.}

^{I understand why you turned away,}

^{You felt the hurt, you lost your way.}

^{But part of me still aches to know,}

^{You didn't trust the truth I'd show.}

^{If only you knew, If only you'd stay,}

^{If only you'd listened to what I'd say...}

^{Perhaps my heart wouldn't bleed this deep,}

^{And I wouldn't cry myself to sleep.}

^{Now I'm a shadow of what you know.}

^{The streets are empty, the nights are cold,}

^{My heart feels heavy, my hands can't hold.}

^{I searched for your face in every crowd,}

^{But silence answers, deep and loud.}

^{The stars don't shine the way they did,}

^{Since you walked away and closed the lid.}

^{You left me longing, torn apart,}

^{Carrying pieces of my heart.}

^{And though I wander, I can't move on,}

^{For my home was you–and now it's gone.}

^{Hoping to see if you're okay.}

^{But in your stories, sharp and cold,}

^{It's like the warmth we had grew old.}

^{One mistake, I never meant,}

^{Yet all your words feel like they're bent–}

^{Twisting my name into something wrong,}

^{When all I wanted was to belong.}

^{I keep on looking, night and day,}

^{Even when it hurts this way.}

^{Because no matter how it seems to be,}

^{A part of me still cares endlessly.}

^{Through broken skies and endless rain.}

^{Even if it turned out this way,}

^{My heart for you will always stay.}

^{I gave my truth, I bared my soul,}

^{But still, the cracks began to grow.}

^{I hope you'd see, beyond the fight,}

^{The love I've kept through every night.}

^{And if this time you understand,}

^{Why I held on, why I made my stand,}

^{Maybe the hurt start to fade–}

^{And you'll see the love we almost made.}

^{The truth I've carried in my hand.}

^{Though fate has turned and gone astray,}

^{My love for you will never fade away.}

^{I'm proud of you, more than you know,}

^{For every seed of dream you grow.}

^{The world admires the things you do,}

^{And I am here, still cheering for you.}

^{Through every storm, through every bend,}

^{My heart will guard you until the end.}

^{And when the winds bring you back to me,}

^{We'll find the place we're meant to be.}
