🎶 Verse 1
You said you’re fine—but silence screamed
Louder than the words you mean
You kissed like someone half-awake
And touched me just enough to break
I traced the edges of your lies
Behind your calm, I saw the cries
You pull away, then beg to stay
You leave—but never walk away
---
🎶 Pre-Chorus
You wear your hurt like holy skin
But keep me out, you lock me in
You swear that you were never gone—
But I’ve been sleeping with a ghost too long
---
🎶 Chorus
Where love belongs is not in pain
Not in your whispers laced with shame
But still I feel you in the dark
A fading flame, a buried spark
You never said it—but I knew
You loved me more than you let through
So if you ever turn around…
I’ll be where love belongs
---
🎶 Verse 2
You talk in riddles, fold the truth
Like paper cuts too close to proof
You say you’re lost, but I can tell
You just don’t trust yourself to dwell
Your silence builds a higher wall
Each word you speak—another fall
But even still, I wait, I bleed
For something deeper than your need
---
🎶 Pre-Chorus
You call it space, but it's a war
Between your fear and wanting more
And though your mouth denies the song—
Your eyes confess where love belongs
---
🎶 Chorus (repeat)
Where love belongs is not in pain
Not in your whispers laced with shame
But still I feel you in the dark
A fading flame, a buried spark
You never said it—but I knew
You loved me more than you let through
So if you ever turn around…
I’ll be where love belongs
---
🎶 Bridge
Maybe one day you'll lay it bare
The truth that trembled in your stare
You'll come undone, you’ll speak my name—
And I won't need to ask again
---
🎶 Final Chorus (soft then build)
Where love belongs, it's never gone
It lingers when the night is long
And if your silence ever breaks—
I'll catch the words your heart still aches
You never said it—but it's true…
You loved me more than you could do
So if you ever turn around…
I’ll still be
Where love belongs.
