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
