What if? (EchØLiv X Rednaxela)

STUDIO

[Verse 1 - Red] You’re afraid of the what-if I get that, I was too But the what-if doesn’t disappear When you refuse to choose Hazel eyes in a freefall moment Fingertips close but not aligned I’m reaching hard, I won’t deny it But reach don’t work if I’m alone this time I’ve felt the pull, I know the gravity I’ve lived the “safe” that slowly breaks I won’t let us call this patience If we’re just afraid to make a shape I’m not asking you to save me I’m not asking you to fall I’m asking you to trust the part of you That knows we could stand tall What if the fear been lying to you What if the “safe” breaks you slow What if the joy you barely touching Is something you don’t yet know What if I’m not just a feeling What if I’m the place you land What if staying still costs more Than ever taking my hand [Chorus – Red] Believe in the me that believes in you I’ll believe in you believing too We don’t fly if one lets go We don’t grow if we don’t move I’m here, I’m ready, I’m holding fast But I won’t drag us through the past If you step forward, I’m with you then If you don’t, I’ll still be who I am [Verse 2 - Liv] I see you both at the doorway now ... Same knock, different truths (…same sound…) One heart already standing inside (…still waiting…) One still scared of what to choose (…how to choose…) Stillness feels safe when you don’t decide But safe starts hurting if you stay You don’t lose yourself by walking in You lose it pressing pause every day (…every day…) You can’t love split and call it control With one foot gone, one foot scared (…half here…) Life don’t wait while you weigh your fear It keeps knocking till somebody hears (…till you do…) You don’t need another sign to see The door’s been open this whole time Some chances don’t come back around They just turn quiet and decline (…fade [Chorus – Red] Believe in the me that believes in you And I’ll meet you halfway there We don’t need perfect, we need present We don’t need fearless, just fair Walk with me, don’t hide behind The rules that kept your pulse low Love ain’t war or sacrifice It’s choosing where your heart goes [Verse 3– Red] I won’t fight shadows on enemy lines While you call the distance “time” I can protect, I can stand strong But only if you stand beside mine I’m not your escape from loneliness I’m not your secret light I can help us both be whole again But I won’t break myself to make it right What if I’m right about us What if you already see What if the part of you that’s scared Is standing in front of what could be... [Verse 4 - Liv] What if comfort’s just a quiet lie (…telling you you’re fine…) Dressed up like strength so it don’t look wrong What if the fear you call discipline (…self-control…) Is the reason you been stuck this long (…still here…) What if holding on feels safer Than admitting you want more (…you do…) And the hardest thing you’ll ever face Is closing the other door (…for real…) [Final Chorus – Red] Believe in the me that believes in you Let that be where we start Two hands steady, same direction Same ground, same heart If we fall, we fall together If we rise, we rise the same I’m ready to build, not rescue Ready to choose, not wait [Outro - Liv] Sometimes the bravest thought (…be honest…) Ain’t “what if I lose it all?” It’s “what if I stay right here (…right here…) And never rise at all?” What if fear keeps calling it patience (…waiting…) While your life keeps moving on And the cost ain’t falling short (…no…) It’s waking up and knowing you waited too long (…too long…) ...Knowing you waited too long... (...too long...)
