[Verse 1]
I used to shout at the sky
Blaming every tear on You
Now my anger’s running dry
Only questions shining through
Coffee’s cold on the table
Bible open
But my hands shake
Every page feels unstable
Every promise starts to ache
[Chorus]
So please don’t be quiet
Please don’t be quiet again
I’m hanging on a whisper
Hoping You remember my name
If all I’ve got is silence
Teach me how to stay in the dark
Please don’t be quiet
While I’m holding out my heart
[Verse 2]
I still flinch at the thunder
Like You’re gearing up to leave
Old scars under this sweater
Make it hard to really believe
But I’m tired of my own echo
Tired of talking to the wall
So I’m risking this small “hello”
Scared of getting nothing at all
[Chorus]
So please don’t be quiet
Please don’t be quiet again
I’m hanging on a whisper
Hoping You remember my name
If all I’ve got is silence
Teach me how to stay in the dark
Please don’t be quiet
While I’m holding out my heart
[Bridge]
If You’re here in the hollow
If You’re somewhere in the ache
I’ll trade every angry “why”
Just to feel one gentle break
If Your love is still steady
If Your mercy hasn’t moved
I’m not asking for the thunder
Just a fragile
Simple truth
[Chorus]
So please don’t be quiet
Please don’t be quiet again
I’m hanging on a whisper
Hoping You remember my name
If all I’ve got is silence
Sit with me and stay in the dark
Please don’t be quiet
While I’m handing You my heart
