In the Wrong Hour

Verse 1
In a night without a name
Between staying and letting go
You whispered something to the dark
Not a call — just left a door open

The sky was thin like fragile glass
Your breath was heavy, full of stone
And somewhere far beyond the edge of time
Something learned how to fall for you alone

Pre-Chorus
Not from hope
Not from courage
Only from what still remained
When nothing held

Chorus
I fell in your wrong hour
Not because I chose — but because you were there
I stayed where nothing should remain
Bound to a heart of scars and dust and prayer

I’m not the light that saves your soul
Not a star that fades and leaves
I am what stays beside you
When everything else falls beneath

Verse 2
Chains were speaking louder than words
The forest held its breath in fear
Your body knew obedience
But your eyes remembered why you’re here

They called you broken
They called me owned
But between your open wounds
There was a place that still felt like a home

Pre-Chorus
You said nothing
Still I heard
You fell —
And I stayed

Chorus
I fell in your wrong hour
Not summoned, yet I’m bound
I shield you with all that I am
Even if it burns me to the ground

I’m not a dream to be commanded
Not a beast that kneels on cue
I stay because you stay
And learn what protecting really means for you

Bridge
When they come to break me
You’ll stand silent in my way
And I will ask for nothing
Just remain — and stay

Don’t tell me I should leave
I can’t return above
Don’t tell me what pain is
I only know your loss

Soft Chorus
I fell in your wrong hour
And never asked the cost
I stay even if I fade away
Because you see me — not as something lost

Outro
No star returns unchanged
Once it decides to stay
But maybe falling
Was never how we lost our way
