The hills breathe, and so do i...⧸a playlist for quiet hours⧸

Under skies of silver blue I found a quiet thought of you The breeze was soft, the light was low But still your name began to glow We didn't speak, we didn't try But silence filled the space nearby You looked at me, I looked away But all I wanted was to stay So float with me Where time moves slow Where nothing breaks and nothing grows Just you and I And breathe and see No maps, no clocks, no need to flee Float with me and let it be The wind picked up but we stayed still As if the world had lost its will I brushed your sleeve, you touched mine And neither one, how easy it can feel to fall And hearts don't rush but simply call No fireworks, no song, just knowing you might Where time moves slow Breathe and see No need to flee You think I'm cold Like I just do what I'm told Like I don't break or fold But you don't know the toll You touched my skin And thought you saw within But you don't know where I've been Or the wars I couldn't win Promises before Soft words that closed the door So now I guard what's mine And I don't cross that line I'm good at letting go Better than you know Every time you pull away I teach myself to stay I'm good at hiding pain Like walking in the rain No one sees the tears I show I'm just good at letting go You say I've changed But I've just rearranged Parts of me you've strained To keep from feeling chained But silence fill the leaks behind your But it always ends the same So now I build a wall Before I learn I'm good at letting go Better than you know Every time you walk I'm good at being still When love forgets to fill And though it's not the way I show I'm just good at letting I'm just good at letting go Always took the front seat Even in my mind Guess I like the way you blurred my line You had your rules, your way to win Always first, never checked me in Drama like perfume on your skin And I kept breathing it in You made the mess, then left me mop Laughed it off like you're on top Guess I was just your Sunday plan Spare time wrapped in a broken man But peace looks better on me now No text, no storms, no raised brows You said love's a battlefield But I found mine in a midfield Yeah, I walked out with both shoes on And trust me girl, it's not your song I used to fold like linen sheets Every time you'd play those beats But tired hearts deserve their rest Not your highs in a floral dress You love the mirror more than truth I mistook that for something I've seen real And I've seen fake You're just a lovely, lovely ache And peace looks better on me now A single mug, a single vow No loud sighs or lipstick lies Just final sounds and open skies Yeah, I walked out and turned the key Freedom ain't sad, it's just quiet and me So here's your show, take the lead I've left the set, I've cut the feed No curtain call, no last bow Peace looks better on me now You called me late like you always do Said your world had cracked in two And I showed up, no questions asked Holding every piece of your past You smiled like I was what you chose But love can't bloom where nothing grows And I was blind, just didn't see You only needed someone, not me I was just a stand-in, just a name To fill the silence when it came A shadow playing in your light A borrowed heart for sleepless nights Now I'm walking out the door Not coming back, not anymore I gave you songs you never knew Held my breath while loving you But your eyes were lost in someone else And I kept breaking by myself You never lied but never stayed Your love was always half conveyed I was the quiet in your noise Never your first, just second choice I was just a stand-in, just a name To catch the tears, absorb the blame A fading voice inside your day You loved me only in halfway Now I'm stepping through the rain And I won't come back again And maybe now you see too late What you let go, what you misplaced A love that waited endlessly But you were never really free I was just a stand-in, just a face You held a feel, a warm embrace But I deserve a home that stays Not someone lost in yesterday So let the quiet fill this space You won't forget what walked away Just a stand-in You chase the sky Never asking who or why Your heart's too wild, too free to hold Too restless for a love untold I stand below, roots in the ground Soft and quiet, never loud Through every storm Through sun and rain I bloom for you, but all in vain Oh my wild bird, do you see A flower way beneath your wings You never stay, you never know How love could grow so soft, so slow You dance with clouds, you kiss the breeze Lost in dreams I'll never reach And still I bloom, still I remain A love unspoken, deep in pain Oh my wild bird, do you see A flower way beneath your wings You never stay, you never know How love could grow so soft, so slow One day perhaps, when skies turn grey When winds are tarred and fade away You'll search the earth, and only then You'll find me here, still in the rain But you are wind, and I am stone A love that flies, a love unknown I've traced the stars, I've searched the night Still your shadow fills my mind Every whisper, every touch Nothing else has meant this much I've tried to love, I've tried to feel Nothing ever feels this real Their hands are warm, their words are sweet But no one sweeps me off my feet If not you, then who will know Soft and slow If not you, then who will see The love that's still alive in me Time moves on, the seasons change But some things never fade away I close my eyes and there you are Still the light, still the spark If not you, then who will know Soft and slow If not you, then who will see The love that's still alive in me Maybe someday you'll turn around And let us down And tell the moon, tell me love If not you, then who Still I wait, still I dream Hoping love will bring you back to me Everybody Maybe someday you'll turn around And maybe love won't let us down But if we're lost and time moves through Tell me love, if not you, then who Still I wait, still I dream Hoping love will bring I woke up today Feeling something's gone The words we used to say Don't feel the same, no Two days ago We were laughing in the light Now it's just silence Fading into the night How do I break this Without breaking you I don't wanna hurt But it's what I have to do I wish I could love you The way I did before But it's like a door closing That we can't ignore Our monstery just passed But it feels like a lie I don't wanna hurt you But I can't keep pretending why The warmth we had It's slipping through my hands And I don't know how to make you understand How do I break this Without breaking you I don't wanna hurt But it's what I have to do I wish I could love you The way I did before But it's like a door closing That we can't ignore The words we don't speak They haunt me still It's like we're walking uphill Against our will I wish we could turn back To where it was right But the spark has dimmed And it's hard to fight How do I break this Without breaking you I don't wanna hurt But it's what I have to do I wish I could love you The way I did before But it's like a door closing That we can't ignore I'll remember the love The laughter, the day But I can't stay Not when it fades away We had our love fighting like fire But love still grows I pushed too hard I pulled away Now I'm scared It's too late to stay I see the way You're letting go Afraid our love Has lost its glow But love's not perfect Love's not fair Without you There's nothing there If the world fades into dust Let me hold you, that's enough I don't need a perfect end Only you, my love, my friend Even if the sky turns black Even if there's no way back All I need is you and I One last kiss before we die No more doubts Stay with me Until we die The stars may fall The sky may break But I'll still choose you anyway I wish to be the peaceful night That wraps you soft in quiet light I wish to be the summer shade Where all your heavy thoughts can fade I wish to be the bed you seek A gentle touch when you feel weak I wish to be the warm embrace That soothes your soul in winter's grace I wish to be the tree-lined lane That shields you from the sun and strain I wish to be the star you find When silence speaks what's on your mind I wish to be the evening breeze That brushes past and sets you at ease I wish to be the summer shade Where all your heavy thoughts can fade I wish to be the bed you seek A gentle touch when you feel weak I wish to be the warm embrace That soothes your soul in winter's grace I wish to be the breath you know Always around you, soft and slow Soft glow of moonlight on your skin Quiet world where dreams begin Every whisper, every sigh Paints your name across the sky Oh, my heart beats slow and true Lost in everything you do You're the missing piece I never knew The gentle song the night once drew In your light the world stands still I need nothing, just your will Golden hours melt into your eyes Like the ocean kissing summer skies Every moment soft and sweet Time surrenders at your feet Oh, my heart beats slow and true Lost in everything you do You're the missing piece I never knew The gentle song the night once drew In your light the world stands still I need nothing, just your will Let the city hum its tune Let the stars fade to soon Here with you I found my No more nights without your sway You're the missing piece I never knew The gentle song the night once drew In your light the world stands still I need nothing, just your will Soft glow of moonlight on your skin A quiet world where love begins I used to fight, I used to try But now I float and let the world go by I held on tight to every plan Afraid to fall, afraid to stand But peace arrived when I Now I move soft, now I move slow No more fixing, no more holding tight I trust the waves to guide me right I let it flow, I let it be No more walls inside of me Watch the sky, feel the rain Even pain can teach again I let it flow, I let it stay I'm not lost, just found my way I used to rush to feel I'm strong Now I just hum a softer song I used to fight, I used to try But now I float and let the world pass by The sun sets slow, the sky turns grey Winds are whispering, let her stray She was like a river, wild and free Never meant to stay, never meant for me I held too tight, I lost my way Love should never beg to stay No more waiting, no more fight Let the stars just shine tonight Let her go, let her fly Like a feather in the sky No more wait, no more chase Only love should still remain Footsteps fading on the shore I don't chase her anymore She was never meant to be A caged bird longing to be free No more waiting, no more fight Let the stars just shine tonight Let her go, let her fly Like a feather in the sky No more wait, no more chase Only love should still remain Winds will carry what they must Leave the past, let go and trust Let her go, let her fly Like a feather in the sky No more wait, only love should still remain The sun sets slow, the sky turns grey Winds are whispering, let her stray
