[Intro]
Soft lights, a shadowed room, a heartbeat in between
I hold my breath for every word you never mean
[Verse 1]
You walk through doors like a star misplaced in rain
I count the stairs between us, but you never hear my name
A secret fever in a glass too small to hold
I dream in salt and silence, of touch that stays untold
[Pre-Chorus]
If longing had a map, I’d trace it to your sighs
But the compass spins on promises and all the lines divide
[Chorus]
Forbidden butterflies, a storm I cannot name
I steal glances like a thief who loves your broken flame
In every near kiss, I feel the danger breathe
And I fall, I fall, for what I cannot reach
[Verse 2]
The clock keeps time with every near-miss glance you give
I carve your name on the air, pretend I live to forgive
Your shadow stays beside me, a halo made of doubt
Love whispered in the cracks where truth and wish rush out
[Pre-Chorus]
If longing had a map, I’d trace it to your sighs
But the compass spins on promises and all the lines divide
[Chorus]
Forbidden butterflies, a storm I cannot name
I steal glances like a thief who loves your broken flame
In every near kiss, I feel the danger breathe
And I fall, I fall, for what I cannot reach
[Bridge]
Maybe one day the distance will learn to be kind
And we’ll speak in softer lights, not in shadows and hindsight
Until then I’ll guard this quiet blaze inside my chest
A sweet unrest, a secret crest, a forbidden crest
[Chorus]
Forbidden butterflies, a storm I cannot name
I steal glances like a thief who loves your broken flame
In every near kiss, I feel the danger breathe
And I fall, I fall, for what I cannot reach
[Outro]
Light fades to a hush, but the ache remains unsaid
I carry you in the quiet, where longing stitches thread
