Small Light
by Evechon Music · Folk-Pop Ballad
"Small Light" is for the night you show up at someone's door not to fix them or save them, but simply to leave a little light burning under all the noise. A quiet reminder that you don't have to be okay to come in from the storm.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You said you've been sleeping badly
I could hear it in your voice
Like the room had gotten bigger
And the silence made the choice
There's a cup beside your laptop
There are dishes in the sink
You keep saying you are busy
When you mean you cannot think
Pre-Chorus
I don't know the perfect answer
I don't have a speech prepared
But I know the sound of someone
Trying hard to disappear
Chorus
So I'm standing in the doorway
With my coat still on tonight
Not to fix you, not to save you
Just to leave a little light
You don't have to explain
You don't have to perform
You don't have to be okay
To come in from the storm
There's a small light under all this noise
If you can't find your own name
You can borrow my voice
Verse 2
We walked down to the corner
Just to buy some bread and milk
We laughed about the weather
Like a person coming back to themselves
There were kids outside the station
Kicking bottles in the rain
And a man was selling flowers
With a smile that looked strange
He said, "Life is kind of strange now"
I said, "Yeah, I know it is"
Then we stood there for a minute
While the traffic changed its pitch
Bridge
Maybe hope is quiet
Maybe hope is a room where nobody rushes
What happened to you?
Maybe love is not thunder
Maybe love is not flame
Maybe love is the person
Who still says your name
Outro
Even when it's hard
Even when the world feels too heavy for your heart
I won't say it's easy
I won't call it fate
But I'll stay here beside you
Till the dark loses weight
There's a small light
And it's not too late
