Even when I don’t say it

Verse 1

I think about you

more than I should.

Every little silence

hits me like it would.

I try to be steady,

I try to stay strong—

But wanting you quietly

hurts all day long.

Pre-Chorus

You’re the light in the doorway

I can’t reach…

but I still lean toward you

every time you speak.

Chorus

I’m yearning for you,

even when I don’t say it.

Even when I hide it,

my heart can’t fake it.

I’m reaching for something

I’m scared I’ll lose—

God, I’m aching for you.

Yeah… I’m aching for you.

Verse 2

I replay your laughter,

I hold it so tight.

It keeps me awake

in the quiet of night.

I act like I’m fine,

but you’re under my skin—

A secret I circle

again and again.

Pre-Chorus

You’re the dream I keep trying

not to chase…

but somehow I fall

every time I see your face.

Chorus

I’m yearning for you,

even when I don’t say it.

Even when I hide it,

my heart can’t fake it.

I’m reaching for something

I’m scared I’ll lose—

God, I’m aching for you.

Yeah… I’m aching for you.

Bridge

Maybe you feel me

in the way I breathe your name.

Maybe you know

that I’ll never be the same.

If wanting you is wrong,

I don’t want it to fade—

I’d rather be hurting

than feel you slip away.

Final Chorus

I’m yearning for you,

even when I don’t say it.

Even when I hide it,

my heart can’t shake it.

If you ever reach back,

I’d run straight to you—

’Cause I’m aching for you.

Always aching for you.
