We Never Meant to Fall

I was standing on a broken floor
Carrying weight I couldn't hold anymore
Cold inside, trying not to drown
Smiling fake while I was breaking down
You didn't come to rescue me
Didn't promise what we'd never be
You just stayed when nights were long
Held the silence, kept me strong

You never tried to be my light
Just shined your heart into my night
And somewhere in the wreckage of it all
Your arms became my shelter from the fall

And when I saw you smiling
After storms had cleared the sky
My world began unfolding
Right before my eyes
We never meant to fall in love
We never made that call
But healing hearts kept beating close
And we never meant to fall

Two years drifting slow and wide
Coffee cups and talks at night
You spoke your fears, I spoke mine
Somehow pain began to realign
No spark that burned out overnight
No reckless fire, no blinding light
Just brick by brick, without demand
We built something we didn't plan

It wasn't gratitude alone
Or just a place that felt like home
Behind the comfort, soft and small
Love was rising through the walls

And when I saw you smiling
With the sunlight in your hair
My closed-off world surrendered
To something real and rare
We never chased forever
We never tried at all
But somewhere in between the scars
We never meant to fall

It wasn't need, it wasn't fear
It was finding peace when you were near
You stayed when leaving would be easy
I stayed when trusting wasn't easy
If someone asks me where it started
I couldn't trace the very spark
All I know between the healing
Your name took root inside my heart

Now when I see you smiling
I know just where I stand
A world once locked and silent
Opened by your hand
We never searched for love
Never tried to risk it all
But two souls learning how to breathe
Still somehow chose to fall

And when I saw you smiling
After storms had cleared the sky
My world began unfolding
Right before my eyes
We never meant to fall in love
We never made that call
But healing hearts kept beating close
And we never meant to fall

And when I saw you smiling
After storms had cleared the sky
My world began unfolding
Right before my eyes
We never meant to fall in love
We never made that call
But healing hearts kept beating close
And we never meant to fall
