Until you turnme away.

Verse 1 I know the shape of every silence You hide behind your tired eyes I know the doors you leave unopened, The truths you bury under lies I loved you long before I learned That love cannot decide our fate Some hearts can burn beside each other And still be forced to separate Pre-Chorus I will not beg you to choose me I will not ask you to pretend But when the ground gives way beneath you, You will still have one true friend Chorus I will be there when the midnight breaks, When the walls around your spirit shake I cannot be the one you call your own, But I won’t let you face the dark alone I will love you without asking you to stay, I will stand beside you anyway And I will keep one light against the grey Until you turn me away Orchestral Turnaround Verse 2 Maybe another hand will hold you, Another heart will share your name And if she gives you peace and shelter, I will never curse the flame I won’t turn your joy into a debt, Or make you pay for my regret But if the world should leave you wounded, I will answer when you call me yet Pre-Chorus I know the line I must not cross now I know the place that I must stand Close enough to hear you falling, Far enough to free your hand Chorus I will be there when the midnight breaks, When the walls around your spirit shake I cannot be the one you call your own, But I won’t let you face the dark alone I will love you without asking you to stay, I will stand beside you anyway And I will keep one light against the grey Until you turn me away Bridge Do not mistake my love for chains Do not mistake my calm for lack of pain I buried every dream that asked too much And learned to love without the right to touch If one day my presence weighs you down, If my open door becomes a prison now, Say the word, and I will disappear Not because my love is gone— But because I hear Female I would rather lose my place beside you Than become the reason you cannot breathe Choir, softly She will set you free Female But until the day you ask me to leave, There is still one promise I can keep Final Chorus I will be there when the heavens break, When every faith you carried starts to shake I cannot be the one you call your own, But you will never face the dark alone I will love you without asking you to stay, Through every silent night and shattered day And I will keep one light against the grey Until you turn me away I will not claim the heart you cannot give, I will not ask for more than this But while you still have room for me to stay, I will never walk away Until you turn me— Until you turn me away Outro No crown, no vow, no claim, Only a light beside your name And should you close the door someday, I’ll carry love And walk away
