Toute la nuit

Dis-moi je t'aime

the reason

An intimate acoustic-cinematic duet about the fear of revealing deep feelings. Two voices trade verses and overlap in harmonies as the narrator(s) repeatedly come close to sending a confession but pull back out of fear. The song moves from quiet, personal admission to a fuller, cinematic release in the final chorus while ultimately leaving the truth unspoken.

Lyrics

I wrote your name and then I hid it in the drawer  
A paper heart that trembled, never reached the floor  
I traced the words like footprints in the sand  
Then folded them away with a shaking hand

I watched the cursor blink until the night ran dry  
Telling me to be brave, telling me to lie

I almost sent it, almost let it fall  
A confession in the glass between us all  
You almost knew it, almost felt me through  
But fear became the lock and I kept the truth

You laughed about the movies like the world’s a kinder place  
I held the unsaid letters, memorized your face  
Every gesture stored like film I’m too afraid to play  
I kept the reel in pockets where daylight never stays

I typed a thousand endings, deleted every line  
Wondered if the silence was keeping you mine

I almost sent it, then the courage slipped away  
I almost told you how you unclench my grey  
You almost heard it if the night had bent the truth  
But I locked the letters in a chest marked me and you

I saw your name light up and the room went thin  
My mouth rehearsed a mercy that I never let you in  
There’s a weight behind the laughing that I can't explain  
There’s a map of all my fault-lines written in your name

Maybe one day the truth will find a softer door  
Maybe one day the quiet won’t be ours anymore  
Tonight we hold the nothing and call it safe and small  
Tonight we wear the pieces we won’t chance to fall

I almost sent it, kept the wildfire caged  
I almost sent it, locked the letter on the page  
We almost burned the bridges for a brighter view  
But fear kept both our hands from doing what we knew

I almost sent it — I almost sent it — I almost sent it  
But I kept it in
