You came out of nowhere, breaking my calm Like the moment the future goes wrong There was something in your voice That felt like home And I built my faith On things I couldn't hold Some connections don't need a place They just exist and leave a trace You don't choose when they arrive Or when they fade When I'm far away from you I'm a photographer without a camera A landscape without a sky A dirty roadside flower Everything in me still knows you Even if it can't be real You were everything unexpected And now I'm the one who lost the deal If I had your eyes in front of me I wouldn't need another reason To go out and conquer the world Or let it fall to pieces It wasn't fear, it wasn't doubt It was time drawing the line And we were standing on the wrong side Of a story that won't rewind Some lights are not meant to stay They just show you another way And disappear before you can say Their name When I'm far away from you I'm a photographer without a camera A landscape without a sky A dirty roadside flower I stayed with what could have been And what was never fair You were everything that made sense In the wrong place, wrong year I didn't win, I didn't fight I just watched it slip away Now I carry this quiet loss I never say out loud, but it stays Some battles end before they start And still leave scars behind You don't forget the ones That almost changed your life Now I'm far away from you With my faith all out of order Photographing futures This life refused to capture You were fire in the middle of nowhere Beautiful, brief, and unfair A flower growing through the asphalt And now I lost, right there Not everything that burns Was meant to remain Some souls arrive Just to prove You can still feel pain
