Paper Cups and Polaroids

[Intro]
(Soft piano melody)

[Verse 1]
Every morning a coffee waiting
the city watching us return
you texted me “are you there?”
and I ran without thinking.
We were two hearts late
at the same wrong moment
years locked in silence
for not saying what was clear.

[Pre-Chorus]
We spoke only with our eyes
our hands never touching
we looked at each other like those who know
they are losing something big.

[Chorus]
We loved without saying it
and that lost us together
it hurts now not to tell you
I look for you, and you look for me.

[Verse 2]
Then a fight, words gone wrong
silence falling on us
you replied with short sentences
as if you wanted to go back to the right place.
You left because you didn’t see me coming back
to not stay where I was
maybe to escape the void
we carried inside us.

[Bridge]
Pride kept us apart
I didn’t have the courage to run
I let days and seasons pass
as if time were endless.
The greatest wound is this voice
that couldn’t say “stay”
I missed the moment
I could have made you mine without fear.

[Chorus]
We loved without saying it
and that lost us together
it hurts now not to tell you
I look for you, and you look for me.

[Outro]
Now I speak and you don’t answer
as if the sky had taken your place
you became walking silence
in days I can’t live anymore.
I still look for you where you are not
in a future we never had.
We loved without saying it
you left this world...
but you stay here, where I live.
(Fade out) I would say “I love you”… even now.
