Lyrics

Before
I loved
you…
fear
was only
background
noise.
Easy
to ignore.
Easy
to turn
down.
Then
your voice
arrived.
Suddenly…
everything
became
louder.
I thought
love
would silence
my fears.
Instead…
it handed
them
a microphone.
Every silence.
Every delay.
Every unread
message.
Every goodbye
I imagined
before
it existed.
Love
didn’t create
the noise.
It simply
turned up
the speakers.
Fear
is a feedback.
The closer
it stands
to love…
the louder
it becomes.
Not because
love
is failing.
Because
something
precious
is finally
close enough
to lose.
I spent
too long
trying
to mute
the sound.
Until
I realised…
feedback
isn’t
the guitar.
It isn’t
the amplifier.
It’s simply
distance
looking
for
the right
place
to stand.
Maybe
that’s why
you never
asked me
to become
fearless.
You only
kept
standing
there…
until
my heart
slowly
learned
a quieter
way
to listen.
Every musician
knows
this sound.
Move
too close…
and everything
begins
to scream.
Step back
just enough…
and suddenly
the same
notes
become
music
again.
Perhaps
love
asks
the same
thing.
Not distance.
Balance.
Fear
was never
the opposite
of love.
It was
its echo…
arriving
too early.
A feedback
searching
for silence…
until
your kindness
finally
tuned
my heart.
If
one day
you hear
my voice
tremble…
don’t think
love
is disappearing.
Perhaps
it’s only
the feedback
reminding me…
that
after
all this time…
my heart
still knows
exactly
where
the music
begins.
